This review is from: Laguiole Corkscrew & Opener Set - Stainless Steel

The only reason I'm posting this review is to protect future gift givers/receivers from disappointment. I asked my wife for a Laguiole waiters corkscrew for Father's Day. I guess I should have been more specific; my wife didn't know that genuine Laguiole corkscrews are $150+ and are frequently knocked-off. So, she thought herself a genius for getting this "corkscrew" for $27. To say that I am disappointed in this "corkscrew" is an understatement. First, it's fixed; it doesn't fold up. I guess it would make a nice shiv, though. Besides, the whole point of a *real* Laguiole is to use leverage; can't do that here. This is essentially a $3 twist and pull corkscrew in a $1 wooden box. Oh, and let's not forget the included bottle opener, something Chateaux Laguiole is renowned for. I guess this would make a pretty good gag gift for a wine aficionado, assuming you want to pay $27 + shipping for a chuckle.
