got one of these last time offered, a quality product

I bought this in a previous woot off about a year ago. LOVE IT! It has become the "Go To" corkscrew in the house. We have all kinds of corkscrews, but this one is the best. It looks real nice, fits in the hand well, and the double hinge on the lever is awesome for getting those deep, or stubborn, corks out.
I bought a few last time as gifts and will be doing the same again. Highly recommend.

I am all for innovation there: I prefer the 'big lever' corkscrews or even an electric corkscrew. I do not need the 'experience' to open the bottle with a flawed, outdated corkscrew mechanism

Regret not getting this when it was offered with the bottle of Victory... (same one right?) but its a woot off so maybe we'll get lucky!

(while were talking about regrets, I missed the Helios on Xmas too...)

Bought two before, it's a really good-looking and well made product. In for 3.

I own two, and while it is a high-quality product, well made and secure, if you're partial to serrated knives you will be disappointed.

Also, do not expect the "wooden" box to be part of the family for long. The hinges are not made anywhere near as well as the corkscrew.

But, due to this site I use then regularly!

That's all it took for my first quality post?! Just 1081 more and I catch Cesare.

Apparently Mahogany and Rosewood are the same, because they are using the same photos.

The "double ratchet" is the ONLY way to go! Smart waiters and waitresses have these. We finally bought one and it is worlds better than any automated, battery-operated, or cheapo version. BUY IT!

Just don't let it get to your head. :D

Agreed. Pretty nice gift for someone (including yourself).

I've seen all the variations of these, and they are all very nice. I chose the natural bone one since it is a bit edgier than your typical cork screw.
