Santoku knife, 17 cm, Arcos Universal, with granton edge

Arcos Santoku knife - precision and control in the kitchen

This Japanese-inspired Santoku knife from the Arcos Universal series gives you outstanding control when cutting vegetables, meat and fish. With a 17 cm blade featuring a granton edge and the specially developed Nitrum® steel, you get a tool that combines sharpness, durability and ergonomics in one professional instrument. Ideal for both precision work and everyday kitchen tasks where clean cuts and control are essential.

Technology that minimises friction and resistance

The Santoku knife is equipped with specially designed granton-edge hollows along the blade, which significantly reduce friction between the knife and the ingredient. 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 cut precisely through everything from potatoes and tomatoes to raw fish. The curved blade also allows you to use both rocking and pulling cutting techniques.

World-class durability and comfort

The ergonomic handle in polyoxymethylene (POM) is designed to provide a secure grip even with wet hands. The material withstands both high temperatures and chemical exposure, ensuring a long service life even under intensive use. The knife's 204 grams provides a well-balanced weight that supports precision work. Nitrum® steel has been developed specifically by Arcos through an advanced nitrogen-based forging process that results in exceptional hardness and sharpness, whilst the steel effectively resists corrosion.

Maintenance for optimum service life

To preserve the quality of the knife, hand washing immediately after use is recommended, especially after contact with acidic foods. Avoid the dishwasher, as this can affect both the sharpness and the finish of the handle. Dry the knife thoroughly after washing to prevent corrosion. When the blade gradually loses its edge, it can be restored through professional sharpening at H.W. Larsen's sharpening service with 85 years of experience.

With the Arcos Santoku knife you get:

• Superior precision when cutting vegetables, fish and meat
• Minimised friction thanks to the specially designed granton edge
• Exceptional durability through Nitrum® steel technology
