【Knife】The sharpness lasts a long time! Surprising diamond cutting technology from Germany's "WMF"

The ultimate knife series "Ultimate" has been born from Germany's No. 1 kitchen and tableware brand "WMF". A finely crafted product that blends tradition and the latest technology, making everyday cooking enjoyable.

The ultimate knife "Ultimate" series

Manufactured at Germany's largest knife forge, Heingen, since its establishment in 1955, is the knife from "WMF". With traditional forging techniques and the latest precision machining, skilled artisans meticulously finish each piece by hand. Let's take a closer look at the ultimate "Ultimate" series equipped with a unique diamond cut born from the latest precision technology "Performance Cut" and high-performance coating.

WMF's unique Performance Cut

What stands out the most is the latest precision technology "Performance Cut". Typically, kitchen knives are made using the "forging" method, where metal is heated and hammered. However, due to the material's characteristics and the handmade processes, there are slight individual differences in the blade's angle and shape. WMF has introduced cutting-edge laser technology "Performance Cut". Every cutting angle of the blade is accurately measured and super finely polished with lasers, achieving uniform and optimal sharpness. The razor-sharp edge lasts a long time, combining the charm of handcrafted work with the precision of cutting-edge technology.

Keeps sharpness with "DLC coating"

High-performance material "Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC)" that merges the high hardness of diamond with the smoothness of graphite. This allows the blade to have an elegant, dark luster and makes it resistant to wear, maintaining sharpness for a long time. It does not become dull quickly like a regular knife, and the cutting into ingredients is smooth. It has good separation and a light and comfortable feel. It also prevents the transfer of odors, which is a plus.

Attention is also paid to design and usability

In cutting durability tests, it was compared with typical knives that require sharpening to maintain sharpness. The "Ultimate" has been confirmed to maintain sharpness even after repeated cuts (compliant with international standard DIN EN ISO8442-5).

With a focus on design and usability, the luxurious design beautifully combines the black shining carbon material with silver stainless steel. The handle is ergonomically designed, making it easy to use for extended periods without fatigue. The combination of deep black carbon and high-quality stainless steel makes everyday cooking even more enjoyable.
