The Arcos professional sharpener
Anyone who relies on a knife knows that sharpening isn’t just a chore, but the foundation for working quickly, safely, and without surprises. The Arcos professional knife sharpener is designed to solve the real problems of demanding kitchen teams, food industries, and businesses: consistent sharpening, ease of use, and wear control. Here’s why this machine is more than just an accessory and how it adds value every day.
What truly sets Arcos’ professional sharpener apart?
-
Precise Sharpening Angle Adjustment: Adapting the edge to the type of knife, scissors, or tool being used allows you to restore the cutting power according to the actual function of each piece. The angle selector facilitates adjustment between 25° and 50°, meaning that everything from a Japanese paring knife to an industrial machete can be sharpened to the perfect finish for each task.
-
Robust Components and Professional Design: Weighing over 12 kg and featuring a metal frame, the machine is designed for intensive use. Its high-quality grinding wheels and adjustment system minimize vibrations and ensure uniform, fast, and safe sharpening.
-
External Dust Extraction System (Optional): Allows you to connect the sharpener to dust or chip extraction systems, keeping the work area clean and ensuring that sharpening residue does not create hygiene or maintenance problems.
How to use it effectively in each professional setting?
Sharpening is done by inserting the blade through the corresponding opening (top for knives, side for scissors) and moving the tool along at a constant speed and pressure. For particularly worn knives, it may be necessary to repeat the process, always ensuring that the edge is uniform and free of burrs.
A practical tip: after sharpening the knife, using a honing steel helps remove small burrs and leaves the edge clean and safe.
Safety and maintenance: designed to prevent problems
The machine meets electrical and mechanical safety requirements, is identified by a serial number, and is manufactured under strict quality controls. Maintenance (cleaning magnetic chips, changing grinding wheels) is simple and accessible to users with basic training. With no unsafe moving parts and all necessary protection, it is a tool suitable for long workdays and all activity levels.
Common questions from professional users
Can serrated knives be sharpened?
No, the sharpener is designed for smooth edges. If a serrated knife is used, the serrations are removed, leaving a normal cut.
How often should you sharpen?
As the manual and practical experience indicate, simply observe the edge’s performance: if the knife stops cutting easily or nicks appear, it needs sharpening. With this machine, the process is quick and controlled.
Is the difference noticeable?
Yes. The uniform edge and precise angle allow knives to regain their original sharpness. Furthermore, the option to sharpen scissors expands its use in kitchens, butcher shops, retail stores, and school cafeterias.

The Arcos forging process, a truly solid knife
Today, the real difference in a knife lies not only in its design or the steel, but in how the heart of the tool—the blade—is crafted. The forging process Arcos has employed for decades is key to creating solid, strong, and robust pieces that withstand the first heavy use and the test of time, whether in kitchens, production lines, or specialty shops. Understanding the value of a forged knife helps explain why so many professionals choose Arcos year after year.
Arcos tempering and annealing: the real reason our knives cut sharper and last much longer
What makes a knife a truly reliable and precise tool isn’t just the choice of material, but how the steel is worked and “treated” to give its all day after day. At Arcos, the tempering and annealing process has been perfected over generations: from medieval forges to today’s industrial furnaces, we remain committed to quality and rigor. This is how we nurture the heart of every knife for the Horeca sector, industry, and specialized retail.
