Review on 🍷 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. by Katie Miller

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 phrase "Floating Axle Corkscrew" and you'll see several options. I use this one I picked up at a local liquor store. It doesn't advertise a thru-axle, but it's there: a crescent-shaped crescendo corkscrew with a soft grip, black.
