Detailed product description

🔥 Arcos Menorca Series Kitchen Knife 190 mm (145400) – A Reliable All-Round Tool for Everyday Cutting with Nitrum® Steel, a Lightweight Design, and a Hygienic Handle

The Arcos Menorca 190 mm is a kitchen knife that combines simplicity, reliability, and functionality. It is designed as a universal knife for everyday use – from preparing vegetables to portioning meat and chopping herbs. Ideal for households, school kitchens, and food service operations looking for a durable, easy-to-maintain tool.
