Arcos Santoku Kitchen Knife Maitre Series 170 mm

• Japanese-style blade – ideal for precise and fast cutting
• NITRUM® steel – good resistance to corrosion and wear
• Ergonomic handle – comfortable grip, secure hold
• Wider blade for easy transfer of chopped ingredients
• Suitable for everyday home and professional use
• 🔴 Possible drawbacks:
• No grantons on the blade (typical for some Santoku knives) – food may stick slightly
• Not intended for hard ingredients (frozen meat, bones)
• The plastic handle is practical, but does not feel luxurious
• 🛠️ Maintenance and sharpening:
• Hand washing recommended; dishwasher possible, but it reduces the lifespan of the handle
• Store separately – ideally in a block, on a magnetic strip, or in a sheath
• To maintain the edge, we recommend the Vulkánus Classic G2 sharpener or the folding Vulkánus sharpener – also ideal for plain edges. 🛒 Available on our website Moskito.cz.
