Designed and engineered for heavy use, the Arcos 2900 line of
kitchen knives is ideal for both professional settings as well as
home kitchens. Made in Spain using an exclusive Arcos stainless
steel formula called Nitrum, the blade of this 10-inch chef's
(250 mm) is enriched with nitrogen for hardening and added
durability. And this features an NSF-certified, full
colored handle in black, which allows each to be identified
for cutting a specific food.
Full color handles idea for HACCP environments. In addition to
being NSF approved, knives from the Arcos 2900 range are ideal
for HACCP environments that require a color coding system to keep
utensils used on meat, fish, and vegetables separated. Safe and
comfortable, the handle is made from injected polypropylene (PP),
with a seamless joint between handle and blade thanks to the
injection process. The handle won't slip out of your hands, and
it's also resistant to impact and high temperatures (up to 260
degrees F). Dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended.
Arcos Nitrum Stainless Steel
----------------------------
Nitrum is a nitrogen-enriched, stainless steel formula that's
found exclusively in Arcos knives. With Nitrum stainless steel,
your Arcos will possess improved hardness for a longer
lasting sharpness, enhanced microstructure for higher resistance
to corrosion, and exceptional edge durability for longer periods
between re-sharpening. The Nitrum production process has no
negative effect on the air, water, or soil.
How to Correctly Sharpen Your Arcos
-----------------------------------------
Arcos recommends the regular use of a sharpening steel to keep
the cutting edge of your razor sharp.
* Place the blade of the on the steel at a 20 degree angle.
* Keep the arm that is holding the steel steady and swipe the
blade lightly over the steel keeping the angle at 20 degrees.
* Give each side of the an equal number of swipes (about
20).
* Sharpen the other side of the blade as before, this time using
the other side of the honing steel. And remember to always
protect your fingers.

Tips For Use and Maintenance
----------------------------
* Wash knives immediately after use with a mild soap. Avoid
prolonged contact with leftover food.
* Do not use bleach, soda or detergents containing chlorine or
chlorides ions because they rust the steel and may cause it to
lose its shine.
* Avoid rubbing your knives with abrasive products, hard cloths,
and metallic or synthetic cleaners.
* If you use a dishwasher, place your knives in with the blades
facing up and in separate containers from the rest of your
cutlery to avoid scratching.
* Avoid leaving your knives submerged in water for long periods
of time, especially in hard or salty water that can affect
metals.
* Dry immediately with a soft cloth.
* Leaving your knives to dry in the dishwasher is not
recommended.
About Arcos
-----------
Arcos is a leading Spanish manufacturer and one of the
oldest and cutlery manufacturers in the world. In 1745, Don
Juan de Arcos started hand-crafting the first knives and scissors
marked with the Arcos brand, and many of these pieces are
displayed in the National Museum of Archeology of Madrid.
Gregorio Arcos Aroca turned the small hand-crafted workshop into
a mass-production factory for professional knives in 1875. And a
century later, Gregorio Arcos Villanueva started the
international expansion of the company. Today, Arcos is still a
family owned business and proud of its remarkable heritage.
