Summary
With a stunning all-black handle, the Wüsthof Performer collection combines centuries of culinary expertise with state-of-the-art manufacturing. The knives feature an ultra-durable Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating that was originally created for space travel and motorsports. This gives each blade a nonstick, frictionless surface that effortlessly glides through hard and soft ingredients, and repels fats and acids to make cleanup a breeze. The Hexagon Power Grip handle has a unique offset honeycomb structure for a nonslip grip that ensures safety and precision. Combining the talents of both a chef’s knife and a cleaver, this santoku is deftly proportioned for precision tasks like mincing and paper-thin slicing. It has shallow oval-shaped depressions along the cutting edge that prevent food from sticking.
