$245.00
The Performer 6" Chef's Knife is the hero of your kitchen. Delicate herb chopping, precise cutting, or skillful slicing with ultimate control—the chef’s knife is the dynamic all-rounder in the kitchen. With the ultimate precision, speed, and control, this shorter, 6-inch blade excels when agility is key. It skillfully handles any ingredients it meets. Need a powerful kitchen companion? Look no further.
Performer knives are enhanced with a deep-black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) performance finish, which makes our blades uniquely strong and durable. This finish is heat-resistant, scratchproof, and resilient to damage. No matter the conditions, it sets new standards for frictionless slicing. The non-slip Hexagon-Power-Grip© design on the handles guarantees unmatched control with every cut. A full bolster (the forged thickening between the blade and the handle) further ensures perfect weight and balance.
For those who never compromise. WÜSTHOF Performer — the knife for the perfect cut.
When you use a WÜSTHOF knife, you can be sure that you are holding one of world’s best kitchen tools in your hand.
