Vegetable knife Arcos Nova 10 cm blade, 1 pc

The Arcos Nova vegetable knife with a 10 cm blade is a compact kitchen tool intended for precise vegetable work such as peeling, trimming and small detailed cuts. This single-piece set includes one knife engineered for balance and control, with a short straight blade that facilitates accurate cutting near the tip and along narrow curves. The design is suited to repeatable tasks in both domestic and professional kitchens where a manoeuvrable, reliable paring knife is required.

Advantages

The short 10 cm blade provides improved control for delicate tasks and reduces hand fatigue during repetitive peeling and trimming. A single-piece construction enhances durability and hygiene by eliminating gaps where food particles can accumulate. The blade geometry and handle ergonomics are optimised to deliver stable grip and precise tip work, making the knife suitable for intricate vegetable preparation.

Suitable for

• Peeling and trimming fruits and vegetables
• Coring, deveining and removing blemishes
• Detail cutting, shaping and garnishing
• Small prep tasks in home kitchens and professional stations

When it may not be suitable

The Arcos Nova 10 cm vegetable knife is not intended for heavy-duty chopping of bones, frozen foods or thick-skinned squash; its short blade and fine edge are designed for precision rather than force. For large-volume slicing of roasts, carving or cutting large melons, a longer chef's or carving knife would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Blade length: 10 cm
• Blade type: short straight paring/vegetable blade for precise work
• Construction: single-piece/joinless design for hygiene and strength
• Typical uses: peeling, trimming, coring, detailed cutting

How to use

Hold the knife with a comfortable grip on the handle and stabilise the produce with the other hand. Use short, controlled strokes when peeling or trimming and employ the tip for detail work such as deveining or removing blemishes. For coring or shaping, position the knife with the cutting edge facing away from your fingers and work gradually to maintain accuracy. After use, clean the blade promptly and dry it before storage to preserve the edge and finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 10 cm blade meets your preparation needs versus a longer paring or utility knife
• Consider whether a single-piece construction and hygiene advantages are important for your workflow
• Check compatibility with your preferred sharpening method to maintain the fine edge

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the Arcos Nova 10 cm vegetable knife for controlled, repetitive tasks such as peeling, coring and precision trimming. Maintain a regular sharpening routine tailored to short blades and store the knife separately or in a protective sheath to avoid edge damage.
