A great chef’s knife makes slicing and dicing a pleasure, which is one of the many reasons it is often the most used, most important kitchen tool for home cooks and professional chefs. Precision forged from a single piece of WSTHOF steel by our expert knife artisans in Solingen, Germany, each Performer blade is enhanced by an elegant, black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating.
