this is my preferred knife for hand
 shipping ice behind the bar or at home
 [Music]
 expert reviews this is the barfly ice
 knife
 high carbon steel blade very sharp point
 very sharp edge
 you can get through all manners of ice
 and you can hand carve ice to
 shape for any style cocktail or any
 glass you would like because of the
 sharp point you can use it as an ice
 pick
 and you can shave ice as you go so you
 can shave off corners of ice if it
 doesn&amp;#39;t fit into your glass
 you can also hand ship ice to get small
 pieces of chipped or crushed ice
 the high quality bamboo handle and high
 carbon steel
 will hold up to repeated and very
 difficult use behind the bar or at your
 home bar as well
 i&amp;#39;ve been a fan of it for seven or eight
 years now
 the sheath comes in handy for safety
 behind the bar
 and at home you can also keep it in your
 pocket as well
 i would recommend the barfly ice knife
 for seasoned professionals
 at any bar that gets all of their ice in
 large blocks
 or needs to hand chip ice to order for
 specific craft cocktails
 it can also be used at home if you want
 to hand shave ice
 for your cocktails or to fit certain
 glassware at home for our party
 i started using the barfly ice knife
 because i got tired of using my good
 cutlery behind the bar that i needed for
 different fruit and different garnishes
 i needed a specific tool just to carve
 ice behind the bar that would hold up
 against the hard ice without ruining my
 finer cutlery for
 fruit and garnishes
