Description
This item has a blade. We sell it only to customers aged 18 or over, and the courier will check ID on delivery.
This fish corkscrew opens corks and crown caps alike, with a bottle opener built into its head and a printed tin of its own to live in. The body is pale wood engraved all over with rows of scales, set between a stainless steel head and a forked stainless steel tail, so it reads as a little fish when every part is folded away. It is 13cm long, 3.5cm wide and 1.5cm high, and weighs 0.13KG, small enough for any kitchen drawer. The blue tin carries a red fish, the words Spirit of Adventure and Fish Shaped Corkscrew, with a small fir tree at each end.
Everything you need to open a bottle folds into the one piece. A steel spiral swings out from the belly to draw the cork, while the hinged head rests on the neck of the bottle as a lever, so you lever the cork out rather than pulling it. A notch in that same lever lifts a crown cap, and a small serrated blade folds out along the back to cut the foil. Keep it in the kitchen drawer, beside the wine rack or on a drinks trolley, and slip it back into its tin when you pack a bottle to take with you.
The steel parts and the engraved wooden handle are held together with small brass-coloured pins, and the spiral, lever and blade all fold flat into the body when you are done. Care is simple: it is wipe clean only, so run a damp cloth over the steel and wood after use and dry it well before it goes back in the tin. Because it arrives in its own printed tin, we think it is ready to give just as it is, and the fish makes a cheerful talking point when the bottle comes out at the table.
