About the Shape - A Bird's Beak peeling knife has a curved blade and is often used for many of the same tasks as paring knives. It can be used to cut decorative garnishes and intricately slice veggies. The angle of the point gives extra control without needing to angle your wrist to make cuts. About Arcos Hermanos S.A. - The brand officially began in 1745 with Juan Arcos, who forged blades now found in the National Archeological Museum in Madrid. The craft continued through the family line until Gregoria Arcos Aroco who turned the small hand-forging shop into a fully mechanized production shop for high-quality Spanish blades in 1875. One hundred years down the road, his descendant Gregorio Arcos Villanueva desired more and began the expansion of Arcos into the International brand that it is today. Through nearly 300 years of manufacturing, the family has never ceased their innovation.
