The Performer chef's knife is a true allrounder and should not be missing in any kitchen. Its 16 cm long blade cuts through meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables. Additionally, it weighs and chops herbs and can also be used for pressing, shaping, and transporting. Blade The blades of the Wüsthof Performer series are made from a single piece of chromiummolybdenumvanadium steel (X50CrMoV15), are lasercut on both sides, and are then coated with DLC (DiamondLikeCarbon). This diamondlike carbon layer gives the knives a surface hardness of 104 Rockwell and is ultrahard. Thanks to the lotus effect, the knife blade glides effortlessly through any food. A standout feature is the unique and striking representation of the trident logo on the 4 cm wide blade. Diamondlikecarbon coating The DLC coating (DiamondLikeCarbon), an amorphous carbon layer, is three times harder than steel. It is resistant to acids, alkalis, and high temperatures. This carbon layer makes the Wüsthof Performer knife resistant, extremely scratchresistant, and longlasting. Handle The highquality handle material of the Performer knives is made from glassfiber reinforced polyamide, and thanks to the nonslip Hexagon Power Grip, the knife sits securely and comfortably in the hand.
