Stainless Steel with Moonstone Resin Inlay : Premium Stainless Steel with Moonstone Resin Inlay Handle : All-in-one Wine Opener, Foil Cutter & Bottle Opener By HiCoup Kitchenware

I have been using inexpensive 2 stage wine openers from Trader Joe's and others for years. I find them easy to use and really like them. A couple months ago I misplaced the Trader Joe's opener and had to use a freebie one stage wine opener- what a pain. Then while traveling I bought another cheap one stage wine opener from Walmart and it was even worse- the metal prongs actually bent after a couple bottles making it impossible to get the cork out. Long story short, I wanted to go for quality so I bought this and it is easy to see and feel the difference. I am very happy with the purchase. It not only feels better in my hand, it works better. It is so easy to open even a tough bottle. The knife cuts through the foil easily- I think I underappreciated that feature in the past- and the cork screw really slides in a lot better. I bought a couple other inexpensive, not cheap, corkscrews to have for camping* and backup, but this is definitely going to be the one I use the most. * I do have multi-purpose / swiss army knives that have a corkscrew for camping and I can use them, but they are difficult to use some bottles and when drinking wine I prefer to be relaxed when opening the wine :)

This wine key works great for opening any bottle of wine, but there’s a big but, and two little ones: the first being simply cosmetic and easily remedied with a little glue. The side plates that make the marble look, came off soon after I bought it, but I just glued them back on no problem. The second “but” is that I find that not many people (including myself) are not fans of it being spring loaded on the part that goes agains the lip of the bottle, so just be aware of that. Lastly, if it matters to you, the bottle opener takes caps off by tilting in towards the bottle instead of pulling the cap off and away. I find it to not be as ergonomic but I’m nitpicking. I only gave 4 stars because of the side plates but it’s really sturdy and it has a nice aesthetic

Extrêmement efficace et facile d'utilisation, ce tire-bouchon est parfait. Par contre il me semble un peu fragile puisque l'un deux a été échappé sur un plancher en bois d'ingénierie et les parties colorées se sont détachées et ont éclaté en morceaux....

Usually they are fine. This one seemed to be cheaper in design. The acrylic side pieces weren't cut right so they have gaps. Blade wiggles. I'll look elsewhere in future.

I'm really impressed with this opener. It caught my eye because of how beautiful the pearl handle is, but with the price being what it is, I expected the quality to not be great. I haven't used it yet, but just from closely inspecting it and holding it, I can say it's built well. It's extremely heavy and the quality is good. So far I'm happy with the purchase. If things change after using it I will leave an update.
