Arcos Universal Pro 260 mm Filleting Knife

The Arcos Universal Pro 260 mm Filleting Knife, reference 287300, is a professional meat knife designed for working with and filleting large cuts of meat with precision, control and comfort. Its wide, slightly curved 260 mm blade provides excellent support during cutting and makes it particularly suitable for professional butchers, meat preparation and commercial kitchens.

Made in Spain by Arcos, this professional filleting knife combines a durable NITRUM® stainless steel blade with an ergonomic black POM handle, creating a robust and reliable tool for demanding daily use. The model is classified by Arcos as a Steak Cleaver / Filetera, making it particularly suitable for large pieces of meat rather than fine fish filleting.

Professional 260 mm meat filleting knife

The Arcos 287300 has been designed to make it easier to cut and fillet large pieces of meat. Its 260 mm blade provides a generous cutting surface, allowing broad and controlled movements when preparing large cuts.

The wide blade and slightly curved profile provide good support against the meat, helping professional users work efficiently and maintain control throughout the cut.

This makes the knife particularly suitable for butcher shops, professional kitchens, restaurants, catering and meat preparation environments.

Wide 260 mm NITRUM® stainless steel blade

The blade measures 260 mm and has a thickness of approximately 2 mm. It is manufactured from NITRUM® stainless steel, Arcos' proprietary stainless-steel technology designed to provide durability and resistance to corrosion.

Its wide geometry is particularly useful when working with large pieces of meat, where a longer and more stable blade can provide greater cutting efficiency.

Designed for large cuts of meat

Unlike a narrow and flexible fish filleting knife, the Arcos Universal Pro 287300 has a wide blade designed for larger pieces of meat.

Its format provides a useful combination of blade length, stability and cutting surface, making it a practical professional knife for butchers and meat professionals.

If you are looking for a professional meat filleting knife, a 260 mm Arcos filleting knife or a large knife for preparing meat cuts, the 287300 is designed specifically for this type of work.

Ergonomic POM handle

The black handle is made from polyoxymethylene (POM), a durable material commonly used in professional kitchen and butcher knives.

Stainless-steel rivets provide a secure connection between the handle and blade, while the ergonomic design helps provide a comfortable and secure grip during regular professional use.

Arcos Universal Pro professional knife

The Universal Pro range is designed for professional environments and includes specialist knives for butchers, fishmongers, professional kitchens and food preparation.
