Benefits of Arcos diamond sharpening steels

Arcos diamond sharpening steels offer several unique benefits compared with other models that are not made from carbon steel and coated with diamond, nor made by expert cutlery hands like those of this legendary Albacete firm. Below we explain some of the many benefits that both catering businesses and homes can enjoy.

• Extremely effective sharpening. – The industrial diamond coating, one of the hardest materials in the world, sharpens all kinds of knives quickly and precisely, even the hardest or most worn.
• Greater durability. – The carbon steel body gives the steel robustness, while the diamond coating extends the working life of the Arcos sharpening steel, as it does not wear out easily.
• Edge maintenance without wear. – Unlike abrasive stones, a diamond sharpening steel does not remove as much material: it realigns the edge, keeping it in optimal condition without reducing the size of the knife over continued use.
• Compatible with professional knives. – It is ideal for stainless steel, carbon steel and high-performance Japanese knives, as it offers a fine, controlled sharpening.
• No lubricants required. – Unlike sharpening stones, it needs no oil or water, which makes it practical and quick for daily use.
• Easy to clean and maintain. – The coated surface is corrosion-resistant and can be cleaned easily, ensuring proper hygiene in professional settings.

How to use Arcos diamond sharpening steels

Contrary to popular belief, the Arcos diamond sharpening steel for knives does not sharpen on its own; what it actually does is set and maintain the edge. That is why it is so important to use the Arcos sharpening steel regularly and keep the knife's edge so that it performs its job properly and delivers consistent performance.

How do you use a sharpening steel? To use a steel correctly, keep the arm holding the steel still and, with the other hand, slide the knife blade along it, keeping an angle of about 20 degrees. Ideally, alternate the sides of the blade with each pass to keep the edge symmetrical and avoid working one side more than the other.
