Tire-bouchon à levier double ZA Wenc JA Henckels

Built well and works perfect

This wine opener is simple but well crafted. It is heavy in hand - weighing about 23 of a pound. It’s solid stainless steel and has a nice flat silver finish. The craftsmanship is obvious and I doubt I’ll be needing to ever buy a replacement due to wear and tear or breakage. Clearly there are cheaper alternatives, but if you enjoy buying well made items that last a lifetime as I do, you might appreciate this opener. I would buy it again.

Love this item! Sturdy and strong, I hope it lasts a long time!

Heavy, love the feel of the corkscrew.

I had great expectations for this corkscrew because my very old similar one was excellent. It was just time to find a new one. I chose this because of Zwilling/Henckels generally-good quality. Sadly, this item was NOT great: it's very heavy, and worst of all CLUNKY. The little "ratchet" gearing mechanism catches & halts constantly while turning. This is not how these type corkscrews are meant to be: they should have a SMOOTH mechanism. For the hefty price tag, one expects more. I have a $5 "cheapie" that actually works better than this one. I considered returning, but it seems like too much headwork & COST to me, to return it. I think I will just absorb the cost, and feel SAD about the downhill-slide that this company has obviously been on.
