Laguiole Waiter's Corkscrew - Rosewood Handle, Wooden Gift Box

The standard by which all others a measured.

I’ve gone through many many cork screws in my life. They all seem to start out well, but have varying lifespans. Usually if they can make it through a year, they stand out, but they rarely last that long.Upon visiting several wineries in Sonoma and Napa, I noticed that every one of them used this brand. They certainly stand out, since they have wooden handles and are very sleek looking. I made a point to take a photo so I could order one for myself.Once mine arrived, I was blown away at the quality and craftsmanship. After using it for a while, I decided that I was going to gift these to my friends, so I ordered a few more for an upcoming wine party.Everybody loves their and so far they stand up to regular use without showing signs of falling apart.

works perfectly and is beautiful!

Good quality as expected from this brand. I just wish this model had a longer metal latch thingy perhaps with 2 sections to make it easy to open a bottle. I find myself pulling on the cork at the end.

The first of two that I received was obviously defective from the manufacturer in two respects. The knock off Laguiole Bee was broken off and the piece was not in the box. Also, the rosewood handle was cracked.I knew it was not the genuine article, but it should have been undamaged. It was returned and a replacement sent out quickly which was not perfect either, but it was whole and therefore acceptable.It works as it should and is not unattractive.
