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.

This knife exceeded my expectations. I ignored the negative reviews and bought it for function and performance. I own high-end steel knives, and they often need to be babied to prevent chipping or tip damage. This one is solid, durable, and very well balanced.. Anonymous. Sun Feb 01 2026

Classic ikon knives feature a distinctive, double bolster design for professional-style heft, exceptional balance, and beauty. The handle is made of highly durable synthetic material – polyoxymethylene (pom) – which has a tighter molecular structure to resist fading and discoloration. The elegant shape of the handle is designed for a comfortable grip.

Excellent cutlery. Great quality.. Thomas. Colorado. Sat Oct 22 2022

Absolutely gorgeous knife!!! I use it almost every day.. Jeffrey G.. Fri Mar 28 2025

The ZWILLING Bob Kramer puts precision in the palm of your hand. The utility knife is a workhorse knife in the kitchen that's ideal for precision work in hand or on the cutting board. This versatile knife is ideal for slicing fruit, mincing garlic, and cutting very thin cuts of meat or poultry. These exceptionally durable knives are made with an SG2 super-steel core and are hand-finished using a traditional three-step process. The cryogenic ice-hardened, 11° angle blade offers scalpel-like sharpness and will stay sharper, longer. Featuring an exquisite 101-layer, deep-etched chevron Damascus pattern, these revolutionary knives are true works of art. The lighter weight provides increased nimbleness, ergonomics, and comfort while maintaining strength and balance. The white, linen micarta handle resists wear, even after prolonged use. And the signature decorative center pin is handcrafted by Bob Kramer. Contemporary and elegant, ZWILLING Bob Kramer knives are an indispensable addition to any kitchen.

Top-of-the-line Miyabi Birchwood is a work of culinary art. Both blade and handle are crafted from the most precious materials, which shape their striking appearance. More than meets the eye, the potent core of SG2 micro-carbide powder steel is protected by 100 layers of steel. Miyabi's innovative, ice-hardening process locks in the long-lasting sharpness of the Cryodur blades. Beneath its beautiful exterior, the flower Damascus pattern provides added durability. The scalpel-like blade is complemented by an equally striking Karelian (Masur) Birch handle. A prized material for knife handles, Karelian Birch is also the only wood ever used in a Faberge egg. Exquisite and ergonomic, Miyabi Birchwood knives feel as good as they look. Handcrafted in Seki, Japan.

WÜSTHOF PERFORMER SERIES - The name “Rotoku” is derived from the Japanese number “roku” (“six”). Six virtues. One knife. A masterpiece of elegance and functionality.

This knife looks amazing, especially when combined with others from the same Performer Series and mounted in the block. Well balanced, it feels great in the hand, and slices like a dream. A really contemporary looking knife that compliments our kitchen well and we're sure will serve us for decades to come. Dale G.. Fri Jan 09 2026
