Know before you buy
The double-hinged design provides two leverage points, allowing you to extract corks in two smooth, controlled steps. This minimizes the risk of breaking the cork or damaging the bottle neck.
Both materials are durable, but olivewood benefits from an occasional rub with food-safe mineral oil to keep the grain hydrated. The natural bone handle is smooth and dense, requiring only a quick wipe with a damp cloth to stay clean.
Yes, the double-hinged lever provides the necessary mechanical advantage to handle various cork types with ease. However, as with any waiter's corkscrew, ensure the worm is fully centered before twisting to prevent cork crumbling.
Yes, like most traditional waiter's corkscrews, this model includes a built-in serrated blade designed to cleanly remove wine bottle foil before you insert the worm.
The box is designed for both elegant gifting and safe storage. The sliding acrylic lid keeps dust off the tool while allowing you to display the piece on a bar cart or shelf.
