About the Maker
Arcos Albacete (Spain)
INTERNATIONAL REFERENCE IN A SECTOR AS SPECIFIC AS THE CUCHILLERIA The first piece that marks the beginning of the company ARCOS in the year 1734, are the scissors of the brand, created by Juan de Arcos and that is currently in the Museum of the Cutlery of Albacete. This relic was donated by the owners of Arcos Hermanos. In addition, in the National Archaeological Museum of Madrid, some pieces marked with "Arcos-Albazete", made by Juan de Arcos in the years 1745 and 1746, are exhibited. Gregorio Arcos Aroca, in 1875, converted his small workshop to make knives, scissors and daggers in a production factory for knives in series. A century later, Gregorio Arcos Villanueva began his international expansion. This family business is proud of its remarkable recognition and development.
Inox
The term “Inox” is a collective, colloquial term for a steel based material developed over 100 years ago, which has high resistance values against corrosion and acids, and it represents a number of chrome-nickel steels (stainless steel) to which other elements are also added. NOTE: we understand this is not a maker, but it is the only identifying mark on these knives.
