Meet the New Dexter-Russell® SOFGRIP® 4" Bar Knife: Precision Behind Every Pour

When it comes to crafting exceptional cocktails, every detail matters. From perfectly cut citrus wheels to delicate herb garnishes and clean fruit prep, the right knife can make all the difference. That's why Dexter is proud to introduce the new SOFGRIP® 4" Bar Knife—a purpose-built tool designed specifically for bartenders, mixologists, and culinary professionals who value speed, precision, and comfort.

Built for Modern Bar Service

Whether you're preparing a classic Old Fashioned, a fresh mojito, or a signature house cocktail, garnish preparation plays an important role in both presentation and flavor. The SOFGRIP® 4" Bar Knife was designed to handle the fast-paced demands of professional bars, helping users quickly and accurately prep lemons, limes, oranges, herbs, cherries, and other cocktail essentials.

Its compact 4-inch blade offers excellent maneuverability, making it easy to perform detailed cutting tasks without sacrificing control. From slicing citrus wheels to trimming twists and wedges, every cut is clean and consistent.

Hollow Ground for Smoother Performance

One of the standout features of the new bar knife is its high-carbon stainless steel hollow-ground blade.

The hollow-ground design helps reduce friction as you cut, minimizing sticking and allowing slices to separate more easily from the blade. The result is smoother prep, faster workflow, and less interruption during busy service hours.

Combined with Dexter's legendary edge retention and durability, this knife is built to perform shift after shift.

Comfort You Can Feel

Long shifts behind the bar demand tools that work as hard as you do.

The signature SOFGRIP® handle provides a soft, ergonomic, non-slip grip that remains comfortable even in wet environments. Designed to reduce hand fatigue while providing outstanding control, it gives bartenders confidence whether they're preparing one cocktail or hundreds throughout the night.

More Than a Bar Knife

While it was designed with bartenders in mind, the SOFGRIP® 4" Bar Knife is equally at home in commercial kitchens, coffee shops, cafés, and home bars.

It's ideal for:

• Slicing lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruit
• Preparing cocktail garnishes
• Trimming herbs and fresh ingredients
• Cutting strawberries, cherries, and other fruits
• General precision prep work
• Charcuterie and small plating tasks

Its versatility makes it a valuable everyday tool well beyond cocktail service.
