 The Performer 10" Carver is the tool for big tasks. With its long, tapered, 10-inch blade, it glides frictionlessly through large hunks of meat or heavy vegetables with the ultimate control, precision, and power.  
 
 Designed for passionate cooks and ambitious meat lovers, the Carver delivers top performance with every cut. Carving, slicing, or filleting? This knife takes on any challenge. (Just like you!)  
 
 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.

 The Performer 7" Hollow Edge Rotoku, a WÜSTHOF innovation, is the evolution of the classic Santoku. Fine slicing, speedy chopping, precise serving — this blade masters every task with the ultimate dynamism. The wide blade offers perfect control and also serves as a practical tool: Use it to scoop and transfer ingredients from the cutting board to the skillet or serving bowl. 
   
 The curved edge pairs the smooth, rocking cuts essential to a European-style chef’s knife with the unparalleled precision of an Asian-style chef’s knife. The hollows along the blade’s edge allow small air pockets to form, minimizing sticking and maximizing efficiency. This knife extends the original “three virtues” of the traditional Santoku (named for the myriad ways it’s used for meat, fish, and vegetables) by three more core functions: chopping, serving, and transporting. The name “Rotoku” is derived from the Japanese number “roku” (“six”). Six virtues. One knife. A masterpiece of elegance and functionality.

With its distinct double-serrated edge, the WÜSTHOF Performer 9" Bread Knife is as beautiful to look at as it is useful, being one of the more important knives to have in your kitchen. Beyond crusty loaves of bread and soft dinner rolls, the Performer bread knife is also perfect for slicing into hard-skinned fruits and vegetables, and even for carving larger roasts. The bread knife's double-serrated edge makes a clear difference: the blade has serrations within the serrations, meaning it remains sharp for longer and requires minimal pressure for clean, even cuts. Precision forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF steel by our expert knife artisans in Solingen, Germany, each Performer blade is enhanced by an elegant, black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. This DLC coating makes our steel exceptionally strong and durable, producing a long-lasting blade that is heat resistant, scratch proof, and resilient to damage, even after frequent use in your kitchen. (It also makes Performer blades largely water-repellent, mimicking the moisture-beading effect you might see on the sleeve of your rain jacket.) Handles are fitted with our innovative, ergonomic Hexagon Power Grip, a non-slip honeycomb design that guarantees each slicing moment is safe, comfortable, and precise.
