Chef's Knife - Nitrum Steel - 17cm - with Air Blade

Arcos Santoku Knife - Precision and Control in the Kitchen

This Japanese-inspired Santoku knife from the Arcos Universal series offers exceptional control when slicing vegetables, meat, and fish. With a 17 cm long blade featuring air pockets and specially developed Nitrum® steel, you have a tool that combines sharpness, durability, and ergonomics in one professional instrument. Ideal for precision tasks as well as everyday kitchen duties where clean cuts and control are essential.

Technology that minimizes friction and resistance

The Santoku knife is equipped with specially designed air pockets along the blade, significantly reducing friction between the knife and the food. These small indentations create air pockets that prevent moist or thin ingredients from sticking to the blade during cutting. The result is cleaner cuts and less resistance, making it easier to slice through everything from potatoes and tomatoes to raw fish. The curved blade also allows for both rocking and pulling techniques while cutting.

World-class durability and comfort

The ergonomic handle made of polyoxymethylene (POM) is designed to provide a secure grip even with wet hands. The material withstands high temperatures and chemical exposure, ensuring a long lifespan even with intensive use. Weighing in at 204 grams, the knife offers a well-balanced weight that supports precision work. Nitrum® steel is specifically developed by Arcos through an advanced nitrogen-based forging method, resulting in exceptional hardness and sharpness, while also effectively resisting corrosion.

Maintenance for optimal longevity

To maintain the knife's quality, hand wash it immediately after use, especially after contact with acidic foods. Avoid the dishwasher, as this can affect both the sharpness and the finish of the handle. Thoroughly dry the knife after washing to prevent corrosion. When the blade loses its sharpness over time, it can be restored through professional sharpening at H.W. Larsen's sharpening service, which has 85 years of experience.

With the Arcos Santoku knife, you get:

• Superior precision when slicing vegetables, fish, and meat
• Minimized friction thanks to the specially designed air pockets
• Extraordinary durability through Nitrum® steel technology
