Arcos Menorca Series Santoku Kitchen Knife 180 mm

• Hollow grantons – ingredients stick less to the blade
• Hygienic, non-slip handle – suitable for professional kitchen use as well
• Balanced and lightweight – ideal even for longer food prep sessions
• Excellent price/performance ratio
• Traditional European manufacturing – Arcos brand with history dating back to 1745
• 🔴 Possible drawbacks:
• Lower steel hardness compared to Japanese high-end Santoku knives
• This is not a hand-sharpened knife – touch-up sharpening after unboxing is recommended
• Less blade curvature – not ideal for the rocking cut technique

• Wash the knife by hand and dry it after every use
• Although it is dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended for longer service life

We recommend sharpening regularly – ideally with these tools:

👉 Vulkánus Classic G2 | Moskito.cz – effective sharpening with simple operation

👉 Vulkánus folding | Moskito.cz – a compact option for every household
