Performer 5-Piece Knife Block Set

 WÜSTHOF’s precise, double-serrated edge makes a clear difference with this bread knife: in contrast with a single-serrated edge, this knife has serrations within the serrations, meaning that it remains sharp for longer, requires less pressure and is suitable for very precise, smooth cuts. Bread with a hard crust is not crushed when sliced with this double-serrated blade, while bread with a soft crust is also sliced cleanly, without any tearing of the delicate surface. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating: the DLC-coated blade is the gold standard on the knife market. Thanks to the reduced friction, the blade glides effortlessly through both hard and soft clippings and is also resistant to external influences due to its extreme hardness. Hexagon Power Grip: the innovative, ergonomic handle with its offset non-slip honeycomb structure ensures ultimate control and is ideal for all working conditions.

Performer Carver 26 cm | 10 inch

 
 Whether finely slicing, quickly chopping, or precisely mincing – the Rotoku masters every task with dynamic versatility. The wide blade offers perfect control and also serves as a practical tool: slice, load, and conveniently transport ingredients to a pan, pot, or bowl.  
 The Rotoku is the evolution of the classic Santoku – an exclusive invention from WÜSTHOF. With its curved cutting edge, it enables chopping with a flowing, rocking movement that would not be possible with a straight Santoku blade. It simultaneously extends the ‘three virtues’ of the santoku (working on meat, fish, and vegetables) with three more: chopping, mincing, and transporting. Six virtues – one knife. The name ‘Rotoku’ is derived from the Japanese number ‘roku’ (meaning ‘six’) – it’s a masterpiece that combines elegance and functionality.  
 The dimples (small indentations) along the blade form air cushions that help prevent ingredients from sticking to the blade – for maximum efficiency. The blade with our jet black, ultra-hard Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) performance finish glides precisely and effortlessly through both soft and hard ingredients, thanks to its exceptional and almost frictionless smoothness.  
 The slip-resistant handle with our Hexagon-Power-Grip© structure and half bolster design guarantees excellent control with each movement. 
 WÜSTHOF Performer – the knife for the perfect slice.
