The Wusthof Performer Paring Knife is the perfect tool for peeling, chopping and carving fruit and vegetables. A small, versatile knife with slim, powerful blade and extremely sharp plain edge. This paring knife is ideal for precisely chopping smaller ingredients such as onions and herbs.
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.
