How Professional Bartenders Blades & Bar Knives Work
These clever bar tools are the Swiss Army knives of the cocktail world. Featuring a sharp stainless steel blade on one end for slicing citrus and preparing garnishes, with most models incorporating a bottle opener on the handle or blade reverse. The serrated edge makes quick work of fruit peels and twists, while the flat edge can be used for muddling ingredients or scraping ice from shaker tins. Many professional bartenders blades also feature a blunt tip for safety in fast-paced environments, with ergonomic handles providing comfort during long shifts behind the bar.

Top Tips for Using Professional Bartenders Blades & Bar Knives
Keep your bar blade performing at its best by washing and drying it immediately after use—citrus acids can corrode even stainless steel over time. Store it in a designated knife roll or bar caddy rather than loose in drawers to maintain the edge. Have it professionally sharpened every few months, and always use a proper cutting board rather than cutting directly on bar surfaces. For safety during busy shifts, establish a consistent 'knife down' position at your station.
