How to Sharpen the Wüsthof Performer Bread Knife
The double-serrated edge (a serration within the serration) should be maintained with a tapered ceramic or diamond sharpening rod on the beveled face of each serration, matching factory angles. Avoid flat stones and standard steels. Hand wash and dry after use to protect the DLC coating.
How to Maintain the Wüsthof Performer Diamond Coating
The DLC coating raises surface hardness from 58 to a unique 104 Rockwell, resisting scratches, heat, acids, alkalis, and corrosives. To keep it intact: hand wash only, no dishwashers, store in a blade guard or block, and avoid abrasive scrubbers. The coating is food safe — peeling or flaking is not expected with proper care.
