Small knives do the honest work — coring, peeling, trimming, the strawberry tops and the garlic cloves — and this 5-inch is the one our customers rate highest for it. German molybdenum-vanadium steel goes through ice quenching to pass 58 Rockwell hardness, so a knife this small holds an edge like a knife twice its price.

Anatomy of the tool

Blade

Five inches, fully in control

The blade is long enough to halve an apple yet short enough to work in-hand, peeling a pear over the sink with the thumb as a guide.

Edge

Quenched cold, ground fine

Ice quenching before the edge grind is what lets a small blade run past 58 HRC. Tomatoes at breakfast, shallots at dinner — same keenness at both ends of the day.

Handle

The 2.0 in miniature

Paring work happens in the fingers, so the Ergonomic 2.0 shape matters even more at this scale: a secure pinch with zero pressure points.

In Use

The knife that never gets put away

Deveining shrimp, hulling berries, segmenting citrus, opening packaging you should not open with a knife — it ends up doing everything.

From the sharpening bench

For citrus supremes, work over a bowl and let the 5-inch tip follow the membrane, not the fruit. A blade this hard needs only its own weight to free perfect segments.
