Soft Machine Blade – Le Pierre, sommelier’s corkscrew with a folding knife

The handle sits perfectly in my palm, and that stainless-steel knife blade folds away so cleanly it feels almost over-engineered for a corkscrew. Opened two bottles at a dinner party and the worm went in straight every single time. Honestly, this is the last one I'll ever need to buy.

The folding knife blade is the detail that sold me—one tool handles both the foil and the cork without me swapping gadgets mid-pour. The stainless steel feels solid in the hand, and the whole thing slides nicely into my apron pocket. Exactly what I wanted for bar shifts.

After a full dinner party, it still felt as solid as when I first uncorked the first bottle. The folding knife is a nice bonus for cutting the foil, and the whole thing fits comfortably in my palm. Really pleased with how smoothly it handles both old and new corks.
