Arcos Manhattan 19cm Rocking santoku knife Extreme Edge

The Arcos Manhattan knife series is one of a kind! It combines top-quality materials, innovative manufacturing processes and time-honored know-how to produce knives of outstanding performance.

This Rocking Santoku 19cm knife is an original, Japanese-shaped knife. It's a multi-purpose model that lets you handle a variety of food families, just like a Western chef's knife (meats, vegetables...). It features a curved blade, with a pronounced point, which creates a rocking effect when cutting, for a natural movement. It is particularly useful for chopping herbs, for example.

Its blade is made of NITRUM®stainless steel, an alloy concentrated in nitrogen to increase the blade's hardness (a composition specially developed by Arcos). It boasts a hardness of 57 HRC, giving you a sharp edge that stands the test of time, for long-lasting performance. It is also easy to maintain with a Sharpening steel. It's a very good steel for regular use. Also, the knife is forged, i.e. made from a single solid bar of steel. It is then heated and pressed into its final shape. Because it comes from a single block, it is much stronger, with no welds to weaken it over time.

The knife features a new-generation cutting edge, the fruit of the latest technologies in the sector. Its total cutting angle, called Silk Edge®, is 24/25°: your cuts are clean and precise. 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 total sharpening of the wire 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 style, we'd say it's timeless! It will always find its place in your equipment, thanks to its dynamic shape and sober colors!

Wash by hand, then dry immediately to avoid prolonged contact with moisture. That way, you'll take good care of it for a long time to come.

Arcos knives are available in several ranges, for both professional and amateur use. Made in Spain, they are high-performance and functional, for pleasurable use. They'll help you prepare your most complex recipes, as well as your everyday meals.
