Description
Think of the chef's knife as the hero of your kitchen: a versatile food preparation tool that handles the widest variety of kitchen tasks. A good chef's knife makes slicing and dicing a pleasure, which is one of the many reasons why it is often the most used and important kitchen tool for home cooks and professional chefs alike. Precision-forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel by our expert knife artisans in Solingen, Germany, each Performer blade is finished with a sleek black DLC coating.
This DLC coating makes our steel exceptionally strong and durable, producing a long-lasting blade that resists heat, scratches and damage, even after frequent use in your kitchen. (It also makes the Performer blades largely water-repellent, mimicking the moisture beading effect you might see on the sleeve of your rain jacket.) The handles feature our innovative, ergonomic Hexagon Power Grip, a non-slip honeycomb design that ensures every slicing moment is safe, comfortable and precise. Combining centuries of expert craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, the WÜSTHOF Performer 8" Chef's Knife is an ideal addition to any kitchen.
