Experience the art of fine culinary craftsmanship with the Wusthof Performer 7-inch hollow edge Santoku knife. Crafted from high-quality chromium molybdenum vanadium steel (X50 CrMoV 15), this kitchen knife offers exceptional durability and sharpness. Its DLC coated finish provides resistance against corrosion and wear, ensuring it remains sharp through countless meals. The 58 Rockwell Hardness and 104 surface hardness further enhance its longevity, making it one of the top rated forged kitchen knives for chefs.
The 10° blade angle on each side allows for precise slicing, whether you’re preparing vegetables, fish, or meats. The hexagon Power Grip handle with a honeycomb structure delivers a firm, comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue during extended use. Thanks to its hydrophobic ‘lotus effect,’ the surface causes freshly cut food pieces to slip away easily, minimizing sticking and mess. Made in Solingen, Germany, this chef knife is built to last and comes with a lifetime warranty, making it a smart choice for both home cooks and professional chefs.
