A Bar AbovePremium Quality Channel Knife, Stainless Steel Bar Tool, Garnish for Cocktail Mixers, Lemon Zester, and Fruit Peeler, Professional Grade Bar Accessory, 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.

Great tool

Exactly as described. Worked great!

The spirals are not really thin, nor do they really curl the way I want them to hang on a cocktail glass. Perhaps instructions from the seller could be added to the shipping box?

Love fresh garnishes and this little tool makes them so pretty

Previously had used more of a "fruit peeler" to try and do this and had somebody recommend a channel knife. I'd never heard it called that (once I looked it up it made sense), and based on reviews and information on Amazon, picked this one. Very easy to use, is plenty sharp enough to do exactly the job I need, and wish I'd have known about it sooner.

He uses it on lemons for his martinis.

This thing worked great - cut little ribbons of citrus rind perfect for fancy cocktails - until it broke with just the slightest pressure. I’ve been very pleased with ABarAbove products - expensive but worth it. Until now.
