Oneida Waiter's Corkscrew
I haven't the faintest dream what people are complaining/talking about. This is like any waiter's corkscrew I've used. This corkscrew is completely identical to the 2 other corkscrews that I've used for years (except the Oneida one is in well done stainless steel and the 2 others are brushed metal).
The knife on it is a little dull, but it can be sharpened.
It seems that people seem to either unqualifiedly love it or really hate it. Well, I personally love it and only recommend it only if you're pretty adept at using a waiter's corkscrew. Otherwise you may penury to pass on it.
Inadequate to remove a bottlecap!
Neverminding the corkscrew component, the manfulness opener's lower teeth aren't long enough to maintain a solid grip on the edge of a bottlecap. I could unprotected a bottle faster with my housekey or a flathead screwdriver!
implausible
I have this corkscrew and it's a dab flimsy. The rivets allow the worm to wiggle from side to side and it just doesn't have good fit and finish and isn't pleasant in the hand. If I were to buy another one I'd probably go with a model that has a nicer handle and a "two-step" feature to make it easier to tug the cork.
warmth it.
does what it's putative to do. I've had it for a few years now. Still works just fine. No slippage, still sharp. I like it.
Uncomplicated is Sometimes Best
I pleasure this corkscrew so much I just ordered a replacement because my last one disappeared...probably taken by the bartender I hired for my holiday soir ;).
Seriously, I have had a metrokane rabbit, numerous knock-offs, the wing design and other waiter styles and this one is completely the best. The rabbits broke after one or two stubborn corks and the others would shred older corks or have pieces sink off, etc.
The beauty of this one is the simplicity of its design. The worm is just the right length so you don't go too far into the cork and end up with little bits of it in your wine. The vacant worm design (as opposed to the solid shaft design) also cleanly removes the entire cork (which is significant in older wines) without breakage in one shot.
This corkscrew does require a little more effort to use when compared to a rabbit but its bloody sturdy and very nice looking. Most importantly, it has worked for me hundreds of times, if not a thousand... and it worked everytime, marvellously.
I am a winemaker and serious collector so I've used a lot of different corkscrews. They all have their pluses and minuses, but funny how I always come back to this one. Recall the $50, $100, or even $200 models and go with this one. Besides...the extra $100 you save could be spent on a nice Mondavi Hold over instead :)

Examiner.comScrew you: An debate for corks in wine bottlesExaminer.com 2,4,6-trichloroanisole molecule, which is chemically similar to polyethylene, will unite to the plastic. I love it! More theater! Curtain call! A tube of Saran Wrap and a Tupperware bowl becomes as indispensible to a waiter as a crumber or a corkscrew!
