The Wusthof Performer Double Serrated Bread Knife makes a clear difference 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. Thanks to the precision double serrated edge, every slice is successful, whether through hard or soft crust. Due to the inwardly curved serrated edge of the blade, the double serration operates like the fine teeth of a saw blade and very little pressure is needed to slice all types of bread perfectly.<br /><br />Wusthof Performer combines centuries of great craftsmanship from Solingen, Germany, with cutting edge manufacturing technology. The Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating, created for space travel and motor sports, increases the surface hardness of Wusthof steel from 58 to a unique 104 Rockwell. It is virtually immune to adverse external effects and extremely resistant to heat. Wusthof is the first knife manufacturer in the world to use this technology on a fully forged knife with bolster. The hydrophobic 'lotus effect' of the surface causes freshly cut pieces of food, such as slices of a juicy onion, to slip away. Cutting feels almost frictionless. The blade repels acids from citrus fruits, as well as fats or starches. Simply wipe and it shines like new. The Hexagon Power Grip with its honeycomb structure gives you a firm grip even under difficult working conditions. You will always use your knife safely and precisely. The handle of glass fiber-reinforced polyamide is easy-care. Each knife is forged from a single piece of stainless steel, ensuring superior purity and durability. The Wusthof Performer series is of the unsurpassed quality that has made Solingen a synonym for knife craft.
