The Arcos santoku knife from the Nórdika series combines Japanese functionality with Spanish quality craftsmanship. With its 19 cm blade in NITRUM® stainless steel and an ergonomic Ovengkol wood handle, the knife delivers both precision and comfort for all cutting tasks. The knife weighs 200 grams and places particular emphasis on sharpness and durability.
Ideal for fine prep work with vegetables, fruit, fish, and smaller cuts of meat, where precision and control are paramount.
Sharpness and durability in a class of their own
The NITRUM® stainless steel blade is Arcos' own alloy with nitrogen treatment, giving the knife outstanding properties. This technology results in a hardness of 53 HRC, ensuring lasting sharpness and making the knife resistant to daily use. The characteristic curved blade with a smooth edge provides minimal resistance when cutting through both soft and firm ingredients.
Ergonomic design for precision work
The santoku knife's handle is made from FSC®-certified Ovengkol wood, providing a natural and secure grip. The classic brass rivets ensure durability and stability between the blade and handle. The overall length of 396 mm and the weight of 200 grams make the knife well-balanced and comfortable to use, even over extended periods. The ergonomic design reduces wrist strain and minimises fatigue.
Proper care and maintenance
To preserve the knife's quality and sharpness for as long as possible, it should be washed by hand immediately after use. Avoid soaking the knife and never use a dishwasher, as this can damage both the blade and the wooden handle. Dry the knife thoroughly after washing to prevent moisture damage to the wood. With regular use, professional sharpening is recommended to maintain optimal cutting performance.
The Nórdika santoku knife stands out for:
• Specially developed NITRUM® steel that ensures lasting sharpness
• Ergonomic handle in FSC®-certified Ovengkol wood for a secure grip
