Arcos Manhattan knives are unique. High-quality materials combined with innovative manufacturing processes and Arcos know-how result in spectacularly efficient pieces.
This 13cmUniversal knife is ideal for peeling and slicing medium-sized fruit and vegetables. Its practical, easy-to-handle blade makes precision work a snap. It can also be used to chop small pieces of meat (without bones).
The knife is forged, i.e. made from a single solid bar of steel. It is first heated, then pressed into its final shape. Since it comes from a single block, it is much stronger, as there are no sticking points that could weaken it over time.
The blade is made of NITRUM® stainless steel, a nitrogen-concentrated alloy to increase blade hardness (a composition specially developed by Arcos). With a hardness of 57 HRC, it offers a long-lasting sharpness for long-lasting performance, while remaining easy to maintain. It's a very good steel for regular use.
The knife features a new-generation cutting edge, the fruit of the latest technologies in the sector. Its Silk Edge® total cutting angle is 24/25°: your cuts are incredibly precise and clean, and you'll feel it from the very first use.
The back of the blade has also been softened, a special design that adapts the cutting surface to the specific gestures of chefs. Its bolster also features a new design, allowing the wire to be fully sharpened to guarantee perfect cutting quality. The handle is made of black POM, a highly resistant synthetic material, particularly in the face of temperature variations and detergents often encountered in the kitchen. It is enriched with Bactiproof Silver® treatment, which effectively fights bacteria. 3 stainless steel rivets secure the POM to the full tang blade.
In terms of design, this is quite simply a timeless knife that will always find its place in your equipment, thanks to its dynamic shape and sober colors.
You can wash it by hand, then dry it immediately to avoid prolonged contact with moisture. That way, you'll be able to look after it for years to come.
Arcos knives, made in Spain, are designed for professionals and home cooks alike. They are high-performance, ergonomic and intuitive, making them a pleasure to use every time. They'll help you prepare your most complex recipes, as well as your everyday meals.
