A Bar Above Channel Knife (Gold)

There’s not a ton to be said about this channel knife. It cuts thru citrus peels smoothly & cleanly, leaving you with a nice thin piece of peel with which to garnish a cocktail. It leaves behind most of the pith, too, which is nice. It should be noted that this will not work well on citrus which has gone a bit soft, it just kind of digs in and tears at the peel instead of slicing cleanly.Comfortable to hold with the soft ergo handle. Oxo is usually good for that.You’re not gonna be able to express the oils from this thin slice, but that’s not the point. If you want to do that cut a “coin” of the peel with a knife or a regular peeler and use that. Then, take what you cut with the channel knife & wind it up tightly into a corkscrew shape to place on the rim of the glass.Pictured cocktail, a Hanky Panky:1.5oz London dry style gin1.5oz sweet vermouth0.5oz Fernet BrancaStir all ingredients over ice, strain into a cocktail glass.

This is a very high quality kitchen tool. I use it for julienne orange peels for homemade marmalade and lemon and orange extract. It worked great! I think I will stick to a vegetable peeler for larger strips. Very sharp.

Bought as a gift for a friend that is enjoying Mixology as a hobby. The design of this piece is EXCELLENT! It cuts the rind perfectly with no Pith and creates the correct size every time. Friend is thrilled with it and continues to comment on how great of a piece it is for Cocktails.

Muy facil de usar. La guarnicion queda muy delgada

This tool feels great in the hand, solid and heavy. It cut through the peel of my Meyer lemons easily which was impressive given that this type of lemon has a thinner peel. It cut clean. It is a larger channel knife and did feel a big overall but if you move your hands to the end I found you have better control over getting a good lemon twist. I also liked the packaging!
