R. Murphy Knives Jackson Cannon Bar Knife

While a paring knife is designed for general kitchen tasks, the Jackson Cannon Bar Knife is specifically weighted for cocktail prep. Its squared-off tip is engineered for precise citrus rind work, and the full tang construction provides the heft and balance required for repetitive bar tasks that a lighter paring knife often lacks.

No, this knife is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the integrity of the high-carbon stainless steel blade and the natural Cocobolo wood handle, you should always hand wash and dry it immediately after use.

The flat spine is a functional design choice that allows you to use the back of the blade to scrape cutting boards clean. It helps you quickly clear away citrus peels, herbs, or debris without dulling the sharp edge of the knife.

Because it is made from natural wood, the handle will benefit from occasional conditioning. Applying a food-safe mineral oil or wood wax every few months will keep the handle from drying out and maintain its luster over time.

This is a precision tool designed for garnishes, citrus, and light bar prep. While the full tang construction makes it durable, it is not intended for heavy-duty tasks like breaking down large produce or cutting through tough, fibrous items.
