Nova — Arcos

The Nova collection is the range of colourful paring knives by Arcos. Ergonomic handles in several bright colours, sharp stainless blade and an accessible price: it is the entry-level piece that brings a fresh touch to everyday cooking.

The Nova specificity

Nova focuses on ergonomics and colour. The paring knives are fitted with an 8.5 cm sharpened stainless steel blade for precise preparations (peeling, trimming, vegetable cutting), and a handle in bright tones (coral, yellow, green) that makes the knife easy to spot in the drawer or on the worktop.

• Sharpened 8.5 cm stainless blade — paring format for fine preparations
• Ergonomic coloured handle (coral, yellow, green) for a comfortable grip
• Set of 3 knives to start or complete a kitchen with a matching trio

Choosing within the Nova collection

What makes the Nova collection special?

Nova is one of the most accessible Arcos collections, designed to bring colour and ergonomics to the kitchen without sacrificing the Spanish brand's cutting quality. It is a popular gift for new kitchens, wedding registries or housewarmings.

What is a paring knife used for?

The paring knife (short blade of about 8-10 cm) is the most-used kitchen knife for fine preparations: peeling fruit and vegetables, trimming meat, chopping herbs, boning small game. Having several paring knives in the drawer avoids cleaning between two tasks.

Three colours: useful in practice?

Yes — beyond aesthetics, colour lets you assign a knife to a use (green vegetables on the green handle, red fruit on the coral, for example) to limit odour or flavour transfer. It is a logic used in some professional kitchens.

How do I care for Nova knives?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the edge and the colour of the handles. The dishwasher can be tolerated occasionally, but in the long run it dulls the blade and may fade the handles. Sharpen the blade regularly (steel or stone) to maintain a clean edge.
