Machetas de cocina

What is a machete used for?

Machetes are specific knives used to cut rigid foods such as bones, vegetables, and meats, among others. Their design facilitates the possibility of chopping all kinds of hard foods, something impossible to achieve with a traditional kitchen knife.

Although their use is closely linked to butchers and professional chefs, they are also used domestically thanks to the precision of their strike. In popular parlance, they are called "striking knives."

Like the rest of the knives, at Arcos we recommend that you keep them well sharpened so that the cut is always precise and does not splinter any hard product, such as bones.

When using this type of knife, keep a cutting board close to you, preferably made of wood and with a good thickness. This way, you ensure that you do not damage or scratch the dishes or the countertop itself.

Characteristics of the Arcos machete

Both the butcher's machete and the one you can purchase from our online store are characterized by:

• A knife with a solid blade for easy and safe cutting.
• Blades designed and sharpened to perfection for effective and perfect cutting.
• The edge and blade are larger compared to other models, as well as their weight.
• It is much more resistant and durable.
• The handle is designed for easy daily use.

These knives are perfect for cutting bones, cartilage, and nerves. Even harder vegetables such as carrots. The weight of this knife favors cutting.
