Madrid, March 3, 2025 – The iconic Spanish knife brand Arcos shone at the 97th edition of the Oscars, held on March 2. Led by Carlos Sánchez, R&D expert of José Andrés Group and CEO of Los Finos, Arcos unveiled the first prototype of its new professional ham slicer, designed to offer a perfect balance between precision, ergonomics, and material quality.
A Ham Slicer that Redefines Tradition
This innovative ham slicer, developed in collaboration with Sánchez, recognized as one of the most innovative ham cutters in the United States, features unique characteristics, including:
- A narrower, shorter blade with a rounded tip for precise cutting.
- Ultra-lightweight (approximately 68 grams), allowing for hours of ham cutting without fatigue.
- Oak wood handle, paying tribute to the acorn, a key part of the Iberian pig’s diet.
- Ergonomic design providing a comfortable grip, similar to the posture of a violinist.
In fact, Carlos Sánchez demonstrated its effectiveness at the Oscars, cutting Iberian ham throughout the gala, an event where haute cuisine played a starring role.
