It folds flat and goes in a pocket. So you open the bottle wherever you happen to be standing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the folding opener a sommelier carries. One bar of stainless steel instead of three gadgets in a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo wings to line up. No motor to charge. Nothing left standing on the counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree jobs, and nothing on it to run out\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe foil goes first. Drop the ring at the tail over the neck and turn it once. A fine serrated edge inside the ring scores the capsule all the way around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen the worm, for the cork. Then the hook at the head, which lifts a crown cap just as happily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFolded, it measures four and a half inches, with nothing standing proud of the body. It goes in the cutlery drawer, the picnic basket or a coat pocket. No cable, no battery, no motor to fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the opener in your drawer chews the cork\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCheap openers use a solid auger with a thick core. It bores a hole down the middle of the cork instead of gripping the length of it. On a young cork you get away with that. On an old one the middle tears out and the rest stays in the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe worm here is an open spiral you can see straight through. It winds around the cork rather than through it, so it holds the full depth of it in one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no plastic anywhere on the tool either. The body, the lever, the worm and the ring are all the same polished stainless steel. Nothing on it can snap off, and no handle can work loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe second step is where the cork gives up\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA single-hinge opener has one notch. You seat it on the rim and lift. It runs out of travel with the last third of the cork still in the neck. So you tip the handle over, re-seat it at an angle and finish by feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis lever is two hinged pieces, and each one carries its own notched step. The first step takes the cork most of the way out. The second drops onto the lip and finishes the lift with the tool still square to the bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNothing tips. The cork comes up straight, so it comes up whole. You set it down on the table in one piece and pour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions, folded: 4.5 x 1.4 in (11.5 x 3.5 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: Stainless steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish: Satin on the broad faces, mirror bright on the edges, bevels, rivets and worm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLever: Double hinged, two notched steps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorm: Open helix, folding\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoil cutter: Serrated edge set into the tail ring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCap opener: Hooked notch at the head\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e1x Waiter's Corkscrew\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Ridgewell Living","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197101601064,"sku":null,"price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/9430\/5064\/files\/013-07-studio-hero.png?v=1786031835","url":"https:\/\/ridgewellliving.com\/products\/waiters-corkscrew-with-double-hinged-lever-foil-cutter-and-cap-opener","provider":"Ridgewell Living","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
