The block also features three extra slots for other Old Hickory knives that you may purchase to supplement at a later time.

Log size: 20cm x 26cm 12cm

Intended use: Kitchen / Barbecue

Blade: carbon steel 1095 57-59 HRC
Blade treatment: satin finish
Handle: wood
Notes: To make the knife sharper, through our internal laboratory, we further sharpen each blade before shipping.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE: This product uses a NON stainless steel with a high carbon content - it is therefore recommended to wash it under running water and dry it immediately manually with a clean cotton cloth or absorbent paper. To avoid the formation of rust and oxidation it is also highly recommended, after having dried it well, to protect the blade with a lubricant (eg grease, paraffin, lanolin, vaseline) that creates a protective barrier between the steel and the atmosphere.

The ham knife has earned its fame: its shape and sharpness are designed to cut very thin slices of hard food, especially hams. These qualities make the knife also suitable for fruit and vegetables and other meats, as well as for carving roasts.

Forged series
- 26 cm blade
- Total length 37.5 cm

Handles: made of synthetic material and joined with a triple riveting ensure a perfect seal, excellent stability and guarantee dishwasher safe.
The Blades: are obtained using the best steels and combining the most qualified elements (chromium 15% - carbon 0.5% - molybdenum - vanadium).
The realization of a WUSTHOF forged knife requires the passage of about 40 processing cycles.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance prolongs the life of the knife, makes work easier and safer and reduces the consumption of the wire. Some advices:

- Pay attention that the knives placed in the dishwasher bump other objects; the blades could be damaged.

- Knives guaranteed for dishwashers that are not immediately washed in the machine should be rinsed under the water tap to remove the remains of highly corrosive foods (fats, vinegar, fruit juices).

- Make sure if the knives no longer cut perfectly, have them rectified or sharpened by professionals in the sector.

The WUSTHOF knives sold by us are personally checked and further sharpened, in order to guarantee you the certainty of an excellent purchase.

All Wusthof products we sell are indelibly silk-screened with the Coltelleria Collini logo (as shown in the image). This marking guarantees the buyer to have the certainty of quality, traceability, guarantee over the years and a future privileged assistance on the product purchased from Coltelleria Collini.

Takefu Knives Village is a brand born in 1991 in Echizen Fukui, a city in Japan famous since 1400 for the production of knives.

Mr. Masanobu Okada
Born in the city of Echizen in 1949, the third generation of forging artisans, he is one of the few living heirs of the "masaoki-ho" typical of Echizen, a forging technique that consists in hammering and folding the steel giving it a rhomboid shape for get a thinner, sharper and easier to sharpen steel sheet.

Initially specialized in the production of agricultural tools with the Monjiro brand, in recent times he began to produce artisanal kitchen knives with the traditional "uchi-hamono" technique, also receiving the title of Dentoukougeishi (traditional craftsman) after having undergone the strict examinations of the commission of the Traditional Crafts Industry Promotion Association Foundation.

The uchi-hamono technique (uchi means blow and hamono means cutting tool) finds its origins towards the end of the 1300s, in the Muromachi period and consists of manually beating with a hammer and repeatedly a heated steel sheet until a blade of cut. Many tools made with this particular method are still on permanent display at the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York.

In a recent interview Mr. Okada said: "I have been engaged with this art for over 45 years, but still today I still think that it is an infinite world where the notions learned never become obsolete and for this I feel I have to transmit them. to the younger generations ". Currently, under his careful guidance, two apprentices are thoroughly learning the blade polishing techniques.

Black, sharp and unsurpassed, a series with a unique design that meets pure dynamism.
The WÜSTHOF Performer Knife series proves its worth with every use: exceptional quality for very high performance. The ultra-hard blade, coated in diamond-like carbon (DLC) guarantees low friction and perfect sliding of the blade during cutting. The non-slip honeycomb structure of the Hexagon Power Grip guarantees extreme control. This knife will win you over for a lifetime!

The cut of the Performer knives flows through the food with almost no friction. Thanks to the particularly low friction, the non-stick properties of the diamond-like coating and the lotus effect of the black surface, the particles simply roll off the blade. Freshly cut pieces of food, such as slices of an onion, slip away: an ideal situation when speed and precision are required in moments of intense activity in the kitchen.

Thanks to the hydrophobic effect, all liquids flow away, including citrus acids, as well as fats or starches from potatoes.
The DLC was originally employed for the extreme conditions of space travel and motorsports; WÜSTHOF is the first knife manufacturer in the world to use this technology on a fully forged knife.
USE: vegetables, meat, fish
FEATURES:

- Diamond-like carbon coating increases surface hardness to 104 Rockwells
- Thanks to this coating, the knife glides effortlessly through the food
- Newly developed Hexagon Power Grip with anti-slip honeycomb structure
- Forged from a single piece of WÜSTHOF stainless steel
- Forged in Solingen, Germany
DIMENSIONS:

- Blade length 20 cm
- Total length 34 cm
- Weight: 257 gr.

Diamond-like carbon coated blade for extreme performance.

The diamond-like carbon (DLC) coated blade, being extremely hard and durable, is the highest quality in the knife market. The almost magical black coating increases the surface hardness of WÜSTHOF steel from 58 to a unique 104 Rockwell.

For connoisseurs, this means a significant benefit in terms of performance: its extreme robustness makes it practically immune to adverse external effects and the diamond surface is also extremely heat resistant.

The DLC was originally developed for the extreme conditions of space travel and motorsports; WÜSTHOF is the first knife manufacturer in the world to use this technology on a fully forged knife with holder.
