Wusthof Performer Black – 8″ Chef’s Knife

The Performer knife series consists of two Cooks Knives (16 cm and 20 cm), a Santoku and a Paring Knife. Wsthof is the first knife manufacturer to offer black, fully forged, DLC-coated knives. The diamond-like carbon coating was developed to withstand the toughest conditions: the amorphous carbon layer, just a few micrometres thick, increases the surface hardness of our Wsthof blades from 58 to a unique 104 Rockwell. This makes them resistant to acids, alkalis, extreme temperatures and general wear and tear even scratches don’t stand a chance. The dynamics of our sharp knives are complemented by the slip-resistant Hexagon Power Grip. Chefs love these outstanding knives that sit perfectly in the hand and guarantee complete control, even under the most demanding working conditions. As a family business now in the seventh generation, Wsthof has been producing knives in Solingen known as a City of Blades since 1814.
