WHY THE PRICE IS JUSTIFIED

Its price funds a blade forged from a solid steel bar, specified 57 HRC NITRUM steel and a riveted rosewood handle—meaningful construction and maintenance advantages over generic stamped parers, not status branding.

MATERIALS

BladeForged NITRUM stainless steel, 57 HRC

Nitrogen-enriched stainless balances corrosion resistance, toughness and straightforward edge maintenance.

HandleRosewood with three rivets

Offers tactile warmth and a stable traditional grip, but requires hand washing.

CRITERIA

9/10

Arcos describes it as small, light, manageable and sharp-tipped for peeling.

8/10

Edge Performance

57 HRC NITRUM is a practical compromise between stable sharpness and easy maintenance.

9/10

Hand Control

Light 100 mm format and contoured riveted rosewood grip support controlled preparation.

9/10

Build Durability

Forged single-bar blade and three-rivet handle are materially substantial.

8/10

Care Practicality

Stainless blade is forgiving; rosewood requires hand washing and drying.

9/10

Task Fit

A pointed 100 mm blade suits peeling and trimming, with useful reach for small board tasks.

IDEAL FOR

·Traditional-handle buyers
·Peeling tubers and fruit
·General small prep

NOT FOR

·Dishwasher use
·Users preferring a tiny 70–80 mm parer
·Heavy cutting

DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

This is one of the better-looking practical choices: traditional rosewood, clean three-rivet construction and a pointed, light 100 mm blade. It favors a conventional hand position rather than a tiny fruit-knife handle.

LONGEVITY

Forged 57 HRC stainless is resharpenable and rugged. Preserve the rosewood by hand washing and drying promptly; riveted scales are not normally sold as user-replaceable parts.
