The Arcos Riviera salt knife with a 170 mm blade (model 232900) is a compact kitchen and table tool designed for cutting and serving salt blocks and coarse-grained salts. Made by Arcos, this knife provides a narrow, sturdy blade suited to controlled cuts through hard or compacted salt, enabling precise portioning of seasoning and preparation of small garnishes. The size and balance make it convenient for use by professional chefs and home cooks alike.

Advantages

The Riviera salt knife combines a medium-length stainless steel blade with a comfortable handle to deliver accurate cutting performance on salt slabs and coarse salt crystals. Its narrow profile reduces surface friction when slicing into dense salt, while the robust blade resists chipping and maintains cutting control. The compact design supports both kitchen preparation and table-side use for portioning finishing salt.

Suitable for

• Cutting and portioning salt blocks and slabs
• Slicing or scraping coarse-grained salts for finishing dishes
• Preparing small garnishes and seasoning portions
• Professional kitchen and home table use

Key specifications

• Blade length: 170 mm
• Blade type: narrow, straight profile suitable for hard salts
• Intended use: salt blocks and coarse-grained salt
• Design: compact for kitchen and table service

How to use

Place the salt block on a stable, non-slip surface before cutting. Hold the knife with a firm grip and position the blade at the desired cutting line. Apply steady, controlled pressure to penetrate the salt block, making short strokes if necessary to avoid slipping. For coarse salts, use the knife to shave or scrape small flakes for finishing. After use, rinse the blade and dry thoroughly to prevent residue buildup.

Usage recommendations

Use the knife on a stable cutting board or dedicated salt base to reduce movement. Avoid excessive lateral force that could stress the blade. Clean by hand with warm water and mild detergent; dry immediately. Store in a protected knife block or sheath to maintain the blade edge and prevent accidental contact.
