DANGEROUS TOOL
Obviously designed by some one who never uses a corkscrw in a professional setting. The knife is on the same end as the boot and very close to the worm, it is counter intuitive and clumsy to use. Can easily cut yourself. Also, since when should a waiters' key be a heavy piece of steel? If you work as a wine steward and open dozens if not hundreds of bottles per night you need a reliable, light weight tool.
Relegate this one to the corkscrew curiosity collection, there have been many over the past 100 years.
Well made solid product, not for professional use
I have been bartending for 12 years, that being said I have used and come across many wine keys, corkscrews in my day. This particular opener appealed to me for my home, having friends over and entertaining. After receiving this product, this is my professional opinion. It is a well made, well constructed product. It happens to look and feel as good in your hands as well as it's made. The one issue I might mention is the screw is a little stiff and hard to pull out, that may loosen up over time with usage. If you are looking to purchase this as a tool for work, I would probably steer you in another direction. There are lighter, easier to manipulate corkscrews than this one. They may not be as well constructed or look as nice as this one, but at work I prefer function over form.
Disappointing
I have many fine and some disappointing WMF bar tools. This one is poorly conceptualized and executed. The knife/foil cutter as someone wrote prior is uselessly dangerous. The rest is standard fare and too weighty.
