Paring Knife Arcos Riviera White 100 mm — Arcos 230224, 100mm blade

The Arcos Riviera White 100 mm paring knife is a compact kitchen tool with a 100 mm stainless steel blade designed for precise peeling, trimming and detailed work. Its short blade and balanced handle provide control and maneuverability for small cutting tasks, making it useful in both home and professional kitchens. The design emphasizes accuracy for tasks such as peeling fruit and vegetables, deveining shrimp and making intricate garnishes.

Advantages

The knife combines a sharp stainless steel blade with a compact profile that allows for controlled cuts and fine detail work. A balanced handle and well-proportioned weight distribution reduce hand fatigue during repetitive tasks. The neutral white finish integrates easily into a variety of kitchen styles and is simple to keep visually clean.

Suitable for

• Peeling and paring fruits and vegetables
• Trimming fat or sinew from small cuts of meat
• Removing seeds and deveining shellfish
• Creating small garnishes and decorative cuts
• Precision kitchen prep tasks requiring close control

When it may not be suitable

This paring knife is not intended for heavy-duty cutting tasks such as slicing large roasts, breaking down poultry or cutting through bones. Its short blade and fine profile limit its effectiveness on very large or hard items where a chef's knife or cleaver would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Blade length: 100 mm
• Blade material: stainless steel
• Handle: compact, ergonomically shaped for control
• Intended use: paring, peeling, trimming, detailed cutting

How to use

Hold the knife with a secure grip on the handle and use the tip and short cutting edge for controlled motions. For peeling, angle the blade toward the skin and make short, consistent strokes. For trimming and detail work, use the knife tip to separate unwanted material and small slicing motions to refine shapes. Keep pressure moderate and let the sharp edge do the work.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 100 mm blade length fits your typical prep tasks and hand size
• Consider blade material and sharpening requirements for long-term edge retention
• Evaluate handle ergonomics for comfort during repetitive use
• Check cleaning recommendations for stainless steel knives to maintain appearance

Usage recommendations

Maintain a sharp edge by regular honing and occasional professional or at-home sharpening. Wash and dry the knife by hand after use to preserve handle finish and blade condition. Store the knife in a block, sheath or magnetic strip to protect the edge and prevent accidents.
