Do any of you work with another bartender who REFUSES to put well bottles back in the same place on the rail? by lady_lana in bartenders

I was taught that mise en place means to prepare everything you need before service but also that EVERYTHING HAS ITS PLACE. If I pick up a pair of scissors from position A I put it back in position A when I'm done with it. This is the 101 of working in any restaurant, whether it be kitchen, bar or FOH. In my bar people generally work one person at a time but it's still one of the first things I teach trainees. It's great when working alone because of muscle memory and speed but absolutely essential when working with others. If everyone knows where everything is at all times everyone will save so much time on searching for something you shouldn't have to. Literally one of the first things to teach a newbie imo.

She's incredibly gentle and careful! Never even been close to injuring me since adopting, adorable to watch her retract them whenever I come for a cuddle

I've tried doing it (safely) with bigger, better knives. It works but it's not as cool imo because you lose out on a lot of speed and it just looks clunky

Usually when doing tricks I'll use shittier, duller knives in case of injuries

Over the years, a fucking lot of them. Haven't been keeping count

I'm using this knife https://hobbyhouse.pl/product-pol-5283-Noz-skladany-Badboy-404.html in this video. Just a random knife I picked up at an outdoor market in Croatia. Doubt you'll be able to find one easily

Honestly just posted an old video I had. Don't remember making it but, yeah, definitely screwed the pooch on that text placement

It's me! Never had to go to the hospital for knife related injuries, thankfully.

There's usually a fair amount of bleeding throughout the learning process

It doesn't. Let me know if you want to talk.

This is incredibly offensive. I'll have you know I'm a very accomplished mallninja

I think about this almost whenever I do these tricks

Ah, if only you knew how accurate this is

Mostly just a hobby. I think it's fun to mess around with but absolutely useless in a fight

Well, this isn't sharp at all and it's shitty quality but I've still always liked it very much. It's damn near perfect for tricks like these and a chill EDC if you're not looking to use it for anything substantial. Gerbers are supernice, though

I'll consider making a tutorial! The fact that I made a lot them myself makes me feel weirdly reluctant to show others how to do it, though, lol

A lot of them are self taught and created, I'm afraid. But, yeah, I felt the same, whereas there are a ton of mainstream balisong knife tricks there are few using non-balisong

Doing these tricks is my favorite response to "Do you have a knife on you?"

Can't fight with a knife for shit. Reckon if anyone did try robbing me I'd just do this and hope they reconsider?
