Why we chose it

A small knife should feel precise, secure and easy to place; we chose this one because it adds genuine close-control capability rather than a shrunken version of the main chef’s knife. The 13 cm 5000FCD Shotoh is the precision member of the series: hard FC61 steel and Honbazuke finishing in a compact utility format.

Who it's best for

Buy it if you want a precision small knife mainly for peeling, trimming, coring and small ingredients; you naturally use close-control tip and in-hand work; you value Japanese edge finishing, harder steel and premium materials. This recommendation applies specifically to 5000FCD Shotoh.

Why Lucy recommends it

  • The 13 cm 5000FCD Shotoh is the precision member of the series: hard FC61 steel and Honbazuke finishing in a compact utility format.
  • Role: precision small knife; best for peeling, trimming, coring and small ingredients.
