About this item

  • INNOVATION - Our innovative WÜSTHOF Performer knife combines unique design with pure dynamics. This all-black, all-purpose knife from Solingen, Germany, is extremely robust and enduringly sharp – an excellent knife for perfect control
  • SANTOKU KNIFE - Our Japanese knife (chef's knife, extremely sharp 7" blade) is powerful and versatile: whether chopping herbs, vegetables and fruit or slicing meat and fish (sushi knife), thanks to the DLC lotus effect it glides through food almost without friction
  • UNIQUE KNIFE - Unique, professional kitchen knife: the diamond-like coating increases the hardness of the stainless steel blade to a unique 104 Rockwell, making it extremely resistant to scratches and heat, as well as to acids, alkalis and other corrosives
  • HEXAGON GRIP - Hexagon Power Grip: the novel, ergonomic handle design with its non-slip, offset honeycomb structure guarantees extreme control, enabling a firm grip on the all-purpose knife (small kitchen knife) even under demanding working conditions
  • EASY TO USE - An easy-to-use cook’s knife (professional knife) that perfectly combines design, innovation and function – ideal for ambitious home cooks and professional chefs. The knife for the perfect Wüsthof moment – made in Germany, forged in Solingen


The Performer knife series consists of two Cook’s Knives (16 cm and 20 cm), a Santoku and a Paring Knife. Wüsthof is the first knife manufacturer to offer black, fully forged, DLC-coated knives. The diamond-like carbon coating was developed to withstand the toughest conditions: the amorphous carbon layer, just a few micrometres thick, increases the surface hardness of our Wüsthof blades from 58 to a unique 104 Rockwell. This makes them resistant to acids, alkalis, extreme temperatures and general wear and tear – even scratches don't stand a chance. The dynamics of our sharp knives are complemented by the slip-resistant Hexagon Power Grip. Chefs love these outstanding knives that sit perfectly in the hand and guarantee complete control, even under the most demanding working conditions. As a family business now in the seventh generation, Wüsthof has been producing knives in Solingen – known as a ‘City of Blades’ – since 1814. Excellent quality, sustainable operations and innovative ideas guarantee that our production process is among the most advanced of its kind. Our traditional family company is one of the world’s premium manufacturers of high-quality knives. We are expert producers of knives for cooking, such as chef’s knives, specialist knives, paring knives, all-purpose knives and additional kitchen accessories and/or kitchen aids such as scissors through to useful knife blocks and many more items to do with sharp knife blades. From knife skills workshops on the optimal use of cook’s knives, peeling knives or bread knives, the high-quality knife sharpener or sharpening steel, the blade-protecting cutting board or the practical knife set – you will always find a great gift idea in our Wüsthof range.

Holy wow. Sharp. Sharp looking. I almost dont want to use this. This is my 3rd Wusthof performer series. I have the small chef and a paring knife, and they cut like katanas. I wanted some German blades to go w/my Shun Japanese blades. This does not disappoint.

Éste chuchillo panero es impresionante en todos los aspectos, corte, agarre, diseño.... lo tiene todo y de forma brillante.Por otro lado le doy 4 estrellas ya que el paquete ha venido abierto y el cuchillo con el mango y la hoja sucia, se ve claramente que es una devolución de otra persona, pero nada que no se pueda quitar con un paño de cocina. El cuchillo esta impecable y 100% recomendable a pesar de su precio, esto es una inversión de por vida.

Jamás había tenido un cuchillo tan equilibrado, no es muy pesado, pero tampoco ligero, es sólido y el filo... he tenido varios cuchillos de la marca de varias series, classic, ikon. El performer es una liga superior.

Yesterday I made ribs. I used this knife to cut them(raw) and it was as if the rib meat saw that blade coming and divided just before it touched them. That meat parted like the Red Sea.

This knife is beautiful. Feels comfortable and balanced in the hand. Typical Wusthof edge. I'm not sure if I'd say it's worth double the amount the classic sells for but its definitely made with quality.

Meine Liebste hat mir das Messer zum Geburtstag geschenkt. Seit einigen Wochen habe ich es nun in Gebrauch und bin sehr zufrieden. Erst vor wenigen Tagen habe ich damit die Silberhaut von einem Rehrücken entfernt, was mit dem Messer eine wahre Freude war. Generell bin ich von der Qualität der Messer von Wüsthof überzeugt. Der Stahl ist etwas härter als die meisten Solingen-Stähle und daher schnitthaltiger, gleichzeitig gerade weich genug, um durch einfaches Abziehen mit einem Wetzstahl die Schärfe leicht wieder "auffrischen" zu können. Wüsthof-Messer werden ab Werk mit sehr hoher Schäfe ausgeliefert. Ab und zu ein paar Mal über den Wetzstahl ziehen und man hat lange Freude an dem vorzüglichen Schliff. Das Messer liegt ergononisch und sehr rutschfest in der Hand und es ist prima ausbalanciert (Schwerpunkt liegt zwischen Klinge und Griff). Es sieht mit der schwarzen Beschichtung aus ultra-hartem diamantähnlichen Kohlenstoff sehr "stylisch" aus und lässt sich prima reinigen. Die Verarbeitung ist einwandfrei. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist die billige Verpackung die bei Lieferung bereits "zerbröselt" war.Ach ja: Das Messer ist recht schwer. Wer gern mit leichten Messern hantiert, sollte sich nach einer Alternative umschauen.
