When you open a bottle of wine, this waiter's corkscrew handles every step in one tool: a lightly serrated knife to cut the foil, a corkscrew to draw the cork, and a built-in bottle opener. An iconic French waiter's knife widely used by waiters across France, it stands as a testament to French design and utility, blending precision engineering with timeless aesthetics. Crafted by the Cartailler-Deluc cutlers of Thiers, it carries over a century of French craftsmanship in a single piece of brushed 18/10 stainless steel. The handle is formed from one length of steel, integrating the blade and opener into a slim, balanced body. Rather than traditional rivets, it's held together with durable brass screws, so parts can be maintained or replaced over a lifetime of use, an uncommon innovation in its day. The corkscrew itself is forged from hardened steel with a non-stick coating for smooth pulls, and an exterior groove for added grip, while a spring mechanism made from solid round-bar steel keeps it working reliably.
