ARCOS universal knife block

In most homes, the usual way to store knives is in drawers; however, this practice is very harmful to the knife — the edges disappear and the blades get damaged and even chipped. The knife is the most important tool in the kitchen and we should look after it as such. Keeping an edge in perfect condition makes us safer: it may not seem obvious, but a sharp knife is safer than a blunt one. It also saves money, as we won't have to keep buying knives. A good-quality knife set, such as an Arcos Saeta or an Arcos Riviera, with basic care and using the right knife for each task, can last for decades while always keeping a perfect edge and exceptional cutting quality.

There are 4 options for storing knives perfectly. Protective blade sheaths. Knife magnets, which you screw to a wall, simply taking care to keep the knives from touching one another. Knife rolls or knife cases, without doubt the best option for people who, as well as storing their knives well, need to carry them safely from one kitchen to another. And finally knife blocks, a very convenient option since the block is not fixed and can be moved from place to place as needed. The most suitable of these 4 options depends on whether you need to transport your knives, the space you have in the kitchen, whether there are children at home… in any case you can find any of these products in our online shop, made by ARCOS, which is synonymous with quality products.

Choosing the right knife block also matters: it is important that the knives are not crammed together with their blades touching, that the height of the block suits the knives you are going to store in it, and it is also worth having air circulate around the knife.

The universal knife block by ARCOS is made from thermoplastic rubber with an interior of polypropylene fibres that will not damage or blunt the knives. The knife block is suitable for knives with a blade up to 20 cm long and is also removable, so it is very easy to keep clean.
