Peugeot - Mathus Corkscrew - Two-Prong Bottle Opener For Old-Style Corks, Black, 4.5 Inches

Although fairly expensive, this is the best ah so I’ve had, and I’ve had quite a few. It is well made, sturdy, and has a finger depression for comfortable and secure cork removal. I’ve already bought another.

Great product - just as expected

Very classy look and works well on older bottles of wine where cork is suspect to remove with standard screw type

This blade style corkscrew is a great conversational piece for any wine lover, and essential if you have ever broken corks in a bottle. The screw has good weight to it and simply looks great, although you will wonder what the notch at the base of the handle or the slit in the sheath is for (they're both decorative). It comes in a luxe cardboard box which makes this corkscrew a great gift for any wine lover, and It also works quite well. Many of the blade style screws I have tried have suffered from one or more of the following: 1) Rough blades 2) Misaligned blades The Peugeot is the only one that has none of these flaws. The blades are perfectly aligned and they go in smoothly on either side of the cork. However the smoothness is also one of two minor flaws which make this product just less than perfect: 1) The blades are almost too smooth. They feel coated and while it goes in easy it also pulls out too easily while you are pulling. Many of the blade screws I have used require no more than half a turn while pulling before the cork comes out, this one requires a full turn or more, or you have to push the screw back in. Either way you have to stop and readjust mid-motion at least once 2) There is no foil cutter. Some blade screws have sharpened blades so you can use it also as a foil cutter, or the sheath has a foil cutter. This one has neither. Admittedly the ones that have sharpened blades are poor foil cutters so perhaps this is nitpicky, but I always feel that one shouldn't have to use multiple tools to do one thing Despite that I am very happy with my purchase and consider this one of the better corkscrews to own.

Works perfectly as stated and as designed to be effective in opening vintage wine.

I’m had a different brand before and it worked for 18years flawlessly until one of the prongs broke. Had high hopes for this opener because the design looks beautiful. But I have to report I tried to open a bottle of Brunello and prongs slips out mid way, it does not seem to get a good grip on the cork, it did the same to a bottle Malbec, burgundy and Napa Cab. Failed on 5 bottles. I am not returning it only because it looks good and so I can still use it to open topochico bottles.

Expected better quality from the brand and for the price. The prongs had an uneven paint/finish which made it look very cheap. Should not have passed inspection. Did not attempt to use because I'm returning it.

It has been helpful for bottles with broken corks, as it prevents the wine from spoiling. Plus, it enhances the overall experience of opening a bottle of wine.

Good grip, it is a bit big, but very elegant.

Once you have the knack, its much easier than a corkscrew. I think its a brilliant device and this brand looks good and is very well made.

Cavatappi provato su bottiglie di qualche anno e anche bottiglie recenti, fa il suo dovere e ti da quel tocco di stile e raffinatezza in più in caso di cena con amici. Perfetto e di ottima qualità. Regalo perfetto per gli amanti del vino che non hanno questo splendido Peugeot!!

Habe gerade einen 35 Jahre alten Korken damit gezogen. Perfekt in einem Stück. Egal ob junger oder älter Wein, ich benutze nichts anderes mehr. Liegt gut in der Hand und sieht auch noch edel aus. Absolute Empfehlung!

Acabados de lujo de buen tamaño para utilizar solo es complicado al principio ya que al ser nuevo las laminillas no se deslizan fácilmente, recomiendo no intentar usar algo para afilar o desbastar ya que arruinará las laminillas y se enterrarán en el corcho ya me paso con otro de una marca diferente.
