Further manufacturer information:
The precise, double-serrated edge of Wüsthof makes a clear difference in this bread knife: unlike a normal serrated edge, this knife is also serrated within the serrations, which means it stays sharp for longer, requires less pressure and is suitable for very precise, smooth cuts. Bread with a hard crust does not crumble as much when sliced with this double-serrated blade, while soft-crusted bread is also cut cleanly, without tearing the fine surface.

Diamond-like carbon coated blade for extraordinary performance.
The diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated blade is extremely hard and durable, and this top quality is the peak of the knife world. The black, almost magical coating raises the surface hardness of the steel from 58 to a unique 104 Rockwell. For connoisseurs this is a remarkable advantage: because of its extremely robust nature it becomes practically insensitive to harmful external influences, and the diamond-like surface is highly resistant to heat. DLC was originally developed for the extreme conditions of space travel and motorsport; Wüsthof is the first knife manufacturer in the world to apply this technology to a fully forged knife.
The Lotus Effect: particles simply roll off.
The Performer knife glides through food with almost no friction: full of momentum. Thanks to the particularly low friction and anti-adhesive properties of the diamond-like coating, and the lotus effect of the black DLC surface, particles simply roll off the blade. Freshly cut pieces of food, such as the slices of a juicy onion, slide off: an ideal situation when quickness and precision are needed during intensive kitchen work. Due to the hydrophobic effect, any liquid simply runs off, including acids from citrus fruits, as well as fats or starches, such as those from potatoes. Simply wipe the blade after each use, and the captivating blade shines like new.
The Hexagon Power Grip - full control, always.
The high-performance DLC technology is perfected by the innovative, non-slip Hexagon Power Grip. Its non-slip honeycomb structure provides optimal grip in every situation and outstanding control. The knife can be held firmly even in wet or demanding conditions, so you can always use the blade safely and precisely. The glass-fibre reinforced polyamide handle is easy to handle and dishwasher safe: suitable for everyday use. Overall, the Hexagon Power Grip consistently complements the performance promise of the DLC blade.
