Diamond-like carbon coated blade for extraordinary performance.
The diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated blade is extremely hard and durable, and this premium quality is unique in the knife world. The black, almost magical coating increases the steel's surface hardness from 58 to a unique 104 Rockwell. For connoisseurs this is a remarkable advantage: its extremely robust nature makes it virtually 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 virtually 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 food pieces, such as slices of a juicy onion, slide away: an ideal situation when speed 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 gleaming blade looks like new.
The Hexagon Power Grip – complete 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 DLC blade's performance promise.
