ARCOS PARTNERS WITH CELEBRATED CHEF JOSÉ ANDRÉS TO LAUNCH EXCLUSIVE KNIFE COLLECTION

ALBACETE, Spain, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A 9th-generation, family-owned cutlery brand with nearly 300 years of expertise, proudly unveils its collaboration with world-renowned chef José Andrés to introduce the José Andrés by Arcos Collection. This meticulously designed series blends Spanish tradition with cutting-edge innovation, offering professional-grade knives for home cooks and culinary experts.

The collection features five essential knives: an 8" Chef's Knife, 7" Santoku Knife, 8" Bread Knife, 6" Utility Knife, and 4" Paring Knife. Each knife is precision-forged from Arcos' exclusive NITRUM® stainless steel, enriched with nitrogen for superior durability, enhanced edge retention, and effortless sharpening. The handles are crafted from European Holm Oak, a dense hardwood with deep cultural significance in Spain, where its acorns nourish the famed Iberian pigs.

"In collaboration with José Andrés, we have created a knife collection that reflects both heritage and performance," said Jurgen Wolflik, Co-CEO of Arcos. "Each knife embodies the artistry of Spanish craftsmanship, ensuring precision, longevity, and an unparalleled culinary experience."

"I'm happy to share these knives from Arcos. My team of chefs uses Arcos knives daily, at work and home—we love them for being sturdy and reliable, and they keep a sharp edge, even with all the work we do in the kitchen," noted José Andrés, renowned chef and Founder of José Andrés Group.

Alongside the core knife series, Arcos introduces the José Andrés by Arcos Steak Knife Set—a two-piece set in Red, Green, and Blue, designed for effortless slicing through steak, fish, and other meats.

The José Andrés by Arcos Collection will be available starting April 1, 2025, with prices ranging from $65 to $100 for individual knives and $60 per steak knife set. All products are crafted in Albacete, Spain, backed by a 10-year warranty, and come in premium packaging that reflects the sophistication of this exclusive collaboration.
