The Ikura Bartender’s Knife is a high-performance utility tool designed specifically to handle the delicate and precise demands of beverage garnishing.

Operating this lightweight specialty knife is safe, comfortable, and highly efficient.

The nimble 11.4-inch profile makes it incredibly easy to finely chiffonade fresh mint leaves, slice sweet strawberries, or split vanilla pods with absolute surgical precision right on your bar cutting board.
