Genoa Arcos stainless steel stainless steel 3 paring knife set with green handle

A set for real professionals consisting of no less than 3 NITRUM® stainless steel blade paring knives with green polypropylene handles.

What is NITRUM®

NITRUM® steel is an Arcos registered trademark designed and manufactured in Spain, synonymous with unparalleled quality. It is an exclusive nitrogen steel formula that gives greater hardness, more cutting power and increases wire life.

This type of environmentally friendly steel is only available in Arcos knives. Its new microstructure makes a difference in knife performance in both professional and home use. The manufacturing process of NITRUM® is environmentally friendly. Nitrogen is present in the atmosphere, so its enrichment process does not produce negative effects in the air, water, and land.

Direct injection

All 3 knives are assembled by direct injection, which means that the handle solidifies around the tang of the knife, resulting in a solid, strong and inseparable union between blade and knife.

Direct injection ensures that NO voids are created where water or food remains can enter, so it is a completely hygienic process that meets health and safety regulations. You inject plastic in a liquid state (about 180°C) into the mold. This causes the plastic to solidify around the knife tang, forming a single block (blade-handle).

Polypropylene handle

The Arcos spirit of ensuring the best possible product has led the company to collaborate with AIMPLAS(Technological Institute of Plastics) to obtain the most reliablematerials.

The handles must have ergonomic qualities and achieve maximum comfort in use, whether professional or domestic. The knife must simulate the extension of the arm, and the handle must also achieve a perfect fit to avoid any tension while using the knife. To achieve a better result, Arcos performs separate processing steps to smooth and clean the handles, in order to achieve a smooth and optimal finish and perfect harmonization between the steel of the blade and the material of the handle.

Each Arcos knife is made in Spain with the best machinery and then evaluated by careful, expert eyes of those who have always worked to ensure the perfect knife for their customers.
