they look pretty awesome.
My husband has an awsome one, it isn't actually a cork screw, just this thing with two metal prongs and you slide it in either side of the cork and then just pull it out.. less chance of breaking the cork and getting it in the wine. I don't know what it is called though and I can't remember where he got it… maybe someone else knows what I am talking about??

Okay found one on google to show what it looks like. A great opener…. A corkscrew prong!
These are just a wee little cheaper than my option…
Most bars will have one of these, well wine bars @ least:) These are GREAT when a old cork breaks in the neck while trying to remove using a "traditional" corkscrew. MY experience with them is the metal prongs are very thin and on a stubborn cork they can twist/bend. Another item commonly found in a wine bar will allow the removal of a cork that has gone into the wine, that is down the neck rather than out the neck… never good… more often with OLD wines or wine not stored/cellar correctly. http://www.stephensons.com/wine-bottle-openers/267531-wine-c…

I have bought from these guys several times, twice for me and also as gifts. Absolute quality! The finish on them is A+. each one hand crafted from start to finish. The engraving is also spot on, way better than local " key cutting " guys. Post is quick, you will have it in under 1 week, and the 1 time I did not, they refunded postage. Also found their online chat very helpful. You honestly feel+see the quality of these openers. I recommend 110%. Lifetime warranty. Comes with a leather pouch or belt holster, depends on what opener you get.. Worth the money. You/they will love it for life…buy with confidence.
