Overview
Three Arcos paring knives with 3.5 inch stainless steel blades and colored polypropylene handles, made for peeling and detail cutting rather than heavy prep.
Arcos makes the blades from its own Nitrum steel, which the brand describes as increasing hardness and rust resistance over standard stainless. Each knife in the set is a different color, which works the same way as color-coded cutting boards elsewhere in the kitchen: an easy way to keep a dedicated blade for a task, though the listing does not assign a specific food to each color.
- Set of 3, 3.5 inch (85mm) blades
- Nitrum stainless steel construction
- Dishwasher-safe polypropylene handles
- Each knife a different color: orange, yellow and blue
Who it's for
Right for anyone who wants a small, dedicated set for peeling fruit and vegetables and light detail cutting rather than a single all-purpose chef's knife. Not the choice for anyone needing a knife for large cuts of meat or bread, since these are 3.5 inch paring blades only.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 3.5 inch blades sized for peeling and detail cuts
- Nitrum steel for edge durability and rust resistance
- Dishwasher-safe polypropylene handles
- 3 colors for keeping blades separated by task
- Too small for general chopping or larger cuts
- Handle is plastic rather than wood or metal
Performance notes
Nitrum steel is Arcos's own hardening process, which the brand states improves edge durability and rust resistance over plain stainless. The polypropylene handle is rated for high temperatures and dishwasher use, and its shape is built to sit comfortably in the hand for the finer control paring work needs versus a larger chef's knife.
