5.25 Inch Patented BoomerangTM Two-Step Waiter Corkscrew, Black

Good and strong. Love the two step puller and built in cutter is what drew me to chose this.

Eventually, you can get an easy-working corkscrew that comes with a neat foil cutter. The price is much too high, though, as you can get the thing in Europe for about 30% of the Amazon price -

Parfait . Cadeau pour une amie . Il est très beau et de bonne qualité pour le prix

Wile E. Coyote approved. I've got just about every bottle opener ever made, and the foil cutter on this one is the easiest to use in the industry. I also love the effectiveness of the screw itself; it has a "grooved" worm, which is to say the screw has a groove down the length of it, so it doesn't split the cork. Like the best bottle openers, this one has a two-step pry lever so you can start the pull and end it with good leverage that makes it easy to remove the cork without cracking it inside the bottle. This is an Italian made bottle opener that was such a hit on my Camino [de Santiago] trip with a Swiss compatriot who basically stole it every chance they could get. Once we got to Santiago, I gave it to them, and so I had to buy another one after I got home, but it's hard to find in stores nowadays, so I had to get it here, on A-zon. The only other bottle opener I like in this price range, is the American made (NOT Chinese imitation) Pulltap, and while I like the feel of the Pulltap in my hand better, and it folds down tighter, this one weighs a tad less (better for town-to-town backpacking, or picnics) and the foil cutter is better. I like both. I use both, as well as some shmancier ones that I keep at home. But for on the go, you either want this one, or the Pulltap. And for the Camino, this would be the one to bring.

Best wine opener. Server/bartender job - comes with foil opener as well. Need a good opener for pricey wines
