Wusthof Performer Bread Knife, 23cm

Wüsthof’s precise, double-serrated edge makes a clear difference with this bread knife: in contrast with a single-serrated edge, this knife has serrations within the serrations, meaning that it remains sharp for longer, requires less pressure and is suitable for very precise, smooth cuts. Bread with a hard crust is not crushed when sliced with this double-serrated blade, while bread with a soft crust is also sliced cleanly, without any tearing of the delicate surface.

• High performance serrated bread knife
• Ideal for cutting bread, baked goods like pies and cakes, cabbage and heads of lettuce
• The ultra-hard, diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated blade ensures reduced friction due to the lotus effect and glides precisely through both soft and hard ingredients
• Extremely scratch-resistant: DLC coating increases the surface hardness of steel from 58 to a unique 104 Rockwell
• The non-slip honeycomb structure of the hexagon power grip guarantees perfect handling and extreme control
• The handle consists of 15% glass fibre-reinforced polyamide. Due to its exceptional durability, the material is hardwearing and dishwasher safe
• Strong resistance to acids and alkalis such as those in lemons and potatoes
• Offset oversized trident logo on the blade underlines the dynamic feel
• The Wüsthof Performer knife series proves its worth with every use: exceptional quality for unconditional performance

Dishwasher Instructions

Although some Wüsthof products are dishwasher safe, we do not recommend that your knives and scissors be put in the dishwasher. Blades can knock together, damaging them, and if not washed soon after use, corrosive food particles can damage the blade. Rather wash your knives as soon as possible after each use with warm water and a little detergent, rinse carefully and dry with a towel.
