A channel knife cuts a single ribbon of zest off a lemon or orange without tearing into the pith, so the oil stays bright and the twist holds its curl over a rocks glass. The blade is a small stainless notch set into a handle that sits flat in your palm, easy to control with one pass instead of scraping a peeler back and forth. It lives in the garnish tin next to the jigger, not loose in a drawer where the edge dulls against everything else. Good for a service where you’re making the same drink forty times and need the twist to look the same on ticket one and ticket forty. Rinse it, wipe it dry, it holds an edge a long time if you don’t run it through the dish pit.
Price we've observed
Every point is a price this site read on the maker's own page on the day shown. It is not a market low, and it is not scraped from a price tracker — it is only what we have seen ourselves. Today's price is the lowest we've recorded.
A bar puts out the same handful of garnishes hundreds of times a night, and a channel knife is the difference between a twist that looks the same at close and one that gets sloppier as the shift wears on. It does one job, it does it fast, and it doesn't need sharpening every week the way a cheap peeler blade does.
