🍷 Professional Waiter's Corkscrew with Olive Wood Handle - Laguiole By FlyingColors Wine Opener Set in Wooden Gift Box. Sommelier Knife, Corkscrew, Foil Cutter, and Bottle Opener. Review

As a former wine bar waitress and regular wine lover, I have to say I am very disappointed in this corkscrew. The notch on the lever isn't deep enough, so when you open the bottle you risk either slipping into your palm, which is very painful, or pushing sideways with such force that you risk breaking the glass on the neck of the bottle . In either case, using this product puts you at risk of injuring your hands. It came in a silly fancy box but I only needed a corkscrew for regular use. This…

I would return it but not worth it, at first it looked good but then I used it and started to find all the flaws in the workmanship. The hub is too short, so the 2 inch plug cannot be pulled out. What the hell? also the pin holding the lever is very weak and very firm, i doubt it will last very long, .other problems, . The screw is a lot thicker than a real laguoil so it rips the cork when you try to put it in, oh my god what a disaster. So is anything working? Well it feels pretty good and…

Nice sommelier! We have had a French Laguiole for many years but it was badly damaged when our house burned down last year. This autumn we bought a Chinese-made Laguiole from a liquor store in Dinant for 16 euros, but the screw broke on the second use (beware of the black-coated screws). However, this one is well made and works just like the original (blade and screw open easily) - and still works after a dozen uses. So we are very satisfied with the quality and the price. I bought my real…

I bought this because it looked like a good replica of a serious single action corkscrew. Unfortunately, it doesn't pull corks out easily, so it stays in the drawer while I reach for another. Who knows. Maybe also respected. Now I understand why I've seen people pinch a bottle with a tight cork between their knees while pulling - they're working on the correct angle of the cork pull. It's missing a feature that really helps single-action corkscrews - the floating axle. Search Revain for the…

Purchased this after a very disappointing experience with similar tools bought at the grocery store and local Walmart. This one is MUCH stronger. It's also very beautiful. The forest is good. The metal is richly decorated. The fit and finish aren't perfect, but according to Walmart's version, you literally bent over the barefoot bottle; Who cares if there's a roughness here or there? It's easy on the eye and actually opens a bottle of wine. I wish I could give it more than three stars, but as…

I collect wine corkscrews and my favorites are Laguiole including three that are actually handmade from official sources and cost several hundred dollars. I also bought some less expensive "traditional" stamps and gave them away and used these stamps myself. I had one of these corkscrews for almost 10 years and used it until it finally broke. I don't know who made it, but it sold for that price too (less than $15). Needless to say I was delighted to have found the Flying Colors brand. I will…

When I bought this corkscrew I knew it was a fake Laguiole, not French at all. But given the positive reviews and cheap price (I don't have any endorsed reviewers so I paid full price and I can say I want it) I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived. It's heavier than I thought and excellent quality. The design is nice and works as it should. Easily opens wine bottles. There are two bases, but I only needed one (obviously) to open the bottles quickly and…

I bought some Christmas presents in 2015. They came with two cheese knives. You were amazing. Here is the same as the picture but without the cheese knives. So I bought three for my 2016 Christmas gifts. In fact, this one turned out to be much smaller and not as durable. If you're buying it for home use, look for a bigger one. This is a good buy. This one. Well, if you're gifting someone a bottle of good wine and want to add a "nice" touch, you can add that. Surely you know that any of these…
