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 bird corkscrew brings a little charm to an everyday tool, its outline shaped like a small bird with a pointed beak and a forked tail. The head, beak and tail are stainless steel, and the body is set with warm reddish-brown wood, held in place by two small gold-coloured pins. It measures 12.8cm long, 3.3cm wide and 1.5cm deep, a neat size that sits comfortably in the hand, and at 125g it feels reassuringly solid without being heavy. We think it makes opening a bottle of wine a little more fun.
It folds three tools into one slim body. The spiral worm swings out from underneath. The bird's head opens out as a hinged lever that rests on the rim of the bottle to help ease the cork out, and the same lever has a cut-out for lifting caps from beer and soft drink bottles. A small serrated foil cutter folds out from the tail to trim the capsule neatly before you start. We like it in a kitchen drawer, on a home bar trolley or tucked into a picnic basket, ready whenever a bottle of wine needs opening.
When you have finished, every tool folds back into the body, so the corkscrew stays compact and the blade sits tucked away inside. Care is simple: wipe the steel and wood with a damp cloth after use and dry them straight away, and keep the wood out of soaking water so it holds its warm colour. It makes a cheerful little gift, and the bird outline means you will spot it at once among the other utensils in a busy drawer.
