    In any professional setting\u2014whether food industry, hospitality, or specialty retail\u2014the difference between a knife that cuts well and one that\u2019s mediocre isn\u2019t just a minor detail: it affects productivity, safety, and customer satisfaction. Arcos guarantees that its professional knives pass rigorous \u201ccutting tests\u201d under the most demanding industry standards, ensuring measurable, reliable, and comparable performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The international standard ISO 8442-5 defines the specifications and procedures for testing the sharpness and edge retention of cutting articles. The goal is to objectively assess cutting performance and durability\u2014that is, a knife\u2019s real cutting power and how long it maintains that performance.<\/span><\/p>\n

    The test involves putting each knife through a fixed number of cutting cycles on calibrated and standardized test paper:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. For straight-edge knives: 60 cycles.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. For serrated knives: 200 cycles.<\/span>
      <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      During each cycle, the knife slices through sheets of calibrated paper, and the total thickness cut is measured each time. These results are used to calculate two key parameters: Initial Cutting Performance (ICP) and Cutting Edge Retention (CER).\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        \n
      • ICP (Initial Cutting Performance):<\/strong>\n

        This value indicates the cutting ability of a freshly sharpened knife. It is calculated by adding up the thickness of paper cut in the first three cycles of the test. Knives, whether straight-edge or serrated, must exceed 50 mm.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • CER (Cutting Edge Retention):<\/strong>
        This measures how long the edge lasts. It is calculated by adding the thickness of the paper cut in all cycles (60 for straight-edge, 200 for serrated knives). The minimum values to pass the test are 150 mm for straight-edge knives and 1,500 mm for serrated knives.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        These parameters guarantee that every Arcos knife that passes laboratory testing achieves both optimal cutting capacity and superior durability, ensuring efficiency and savings in professional use.<\/p>\n
