Arcos Cuchillería comes from Albacete (Castilla-La Mancha). It is one of the oldest cutlery factories in the world. The Archaeological Museum in Madrid displays pieces made by Juan de Arcos between 1745 and 1746, so we can assume that the company was founded around that time.
Whoever owns an Arcos knife has a knife that lasts a lifetime. Perfectly designed to slice ham as finely as possible—this, of course, comes with experience—but the knife is essential.
This ham holder is made in Spain, made of the best materials, you will have it for years. It is solid and perfect for slicing hams, no other way of doing it is possible.
In Spain it is very normal to find a whole ham in the kitchen of homes, it is cheaper than to buy it sliced and you can always serve a tapa or prepare nice bocadillos!
