Something Splendid Co. Channel Knife

Yes, the curved design is specifically engineered to follow the contour of round fruits like lemons, limes, and oranges, allowing you to create consistent strips regardless of the fruit's size.

To preserve the black walnut handle, hand wash the knife with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately. Avoid soaking it or putting it in the dishwasher, as moisture can cause the wood to warp or crack over time.

The stainless steel blade is designed for precision zesting rather than deep cutting. While it will work on grapefruit, you may need to apply slightly more pressure to penetrate the thicker pith compared to a thinner-skinned lemon or lime.

The riveted construction provides superior durability and stability compared to glued handles. It ensures the blade remains securely attached to the wood, offering a solid, balanced feel in your hand while you work.

While primarily designed for citrus, the channel knife can also be used to create decorative garnishes from other firm fruits and vegetables, such as cucumber ribbons or apple curls, provided the surface is firm enough to hold the blade's shape.
