Black, sharp, unsurpassable – unique design meets pure dynamism.

 

This bread knife sets new standards. The precision-forged, Performer 9" Double-Serrated Bread Knife features a second row of fine serrations on the cutting edge. It glides effortlessly through crusty loaves, soft dinner rolls, and more. Think: ripe tomatoes, big sourdoughs, and tender layer-cakes. Powerful. Efficient. No crushing, pulling, or tearing. With seamless slicing and impressive sharpness, this knife is the reliable companion for anyone who expects full control no matter the kitchen conditions.

 

Performer knives are enhanced with a deep-black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) performance finish, which makes these blades uniquely strong and durable. This finish is heat-resistant, scratchproof, and resilient to damage. No matter the conditions, it sets new standards for frictionless slicing. The non-slip Hexagon-Power-Grip© design on the handles guarantees unmatched control with every cut. A full bolster (the forged thickening between the blade and the handle) further ensures perfect weight and balance.

 

Wusthof has been developing and manufacturing their products in Solingen, Germany, the “City of Blades,” since 1814 – loyalty that pays off in the quality and reliability of their family business, knife by knife.

 

Hexagon-Power-Grip© Technology

The new handle structure is a genuine WÜSTHOF innovation. The glass-fiber-reinforced material ensures uncompromising grip, even under demanding conditions. The perfectly arranged hexagons reflect the light like diamonds, giving this series its graceful, dynamic character. Wusthof inspiration? The high-performance tires in racecars.

Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) Performance Finish: DLC is a high-tech process pulled from aerospace and motorsport designs. It protects crucial components from wear and increases their resilience. This special finish increases the surface hardness of the forged steel by 146%, making the blade extremely resistant to acids, bases, and scratches. This sleek carbon layer (DLC) also reduces friction. The blade glides effortlessly through food so less force is required. Think: smooth, safe, effortless slicing.
