Best bang for the buck Mar 24, 2012
By K. Nishida
"mainstream geek"
The True Fabrications Double Hinged Corkscrew was one of four waiter's corkscrews that I bought at the same time through Amazon. It was the least expensive. I use my Laguiole 3-5 times per week and wanted a backup. I chose these four based upon other reviews and price: True Fabrications Double Hinged Corkscrew, Epicureanist Waiter's Wine Corkscrew with Bone Handle, Prestige by Coutale Sommelier - Wood Inlay and Pulltap's Professional Waiter's Corkscrew with Double Lever - Bellini. The total that I spent was still less than a third of the cost for another Laguiole.
All are fine looking pieces with wood inlaid and double-hinged fulcrum, except for the Epicureanist, with a bone inlaid handle and single-hinged fulcrum. I've always used a single-hinged fulcrum and have never had a problem pulling a cork. Maybe as I get older, I'll appreciate the double-fulcrum more. All the corkscrews are sturdy enough to stand up to my needs.
The True Fabrications Double Hinged Corkscrew is the least expensive and is well balanced/proportioned. I would say that it is second to the Prestige by Coutale. Features that I like most are 1) Teflon coated corkscrew, which makes it a little easier to screw in (again maybe I'll appreciate it more as I get older) and 2) the ease with which the fulcrum, corkscrew and foil cutter swing out (The others took more effort to swing out).
The True Fabrications is definitely the "best value" of the four and the one that I would recommend to those who use a corkscrew frequently like I do.

 using the throw away from the wine rep instead Feb 08, 2011
By Wonderful Man
I open wine everyday that I work ... several times a night.
I bought this opener because I wanted something better than the ones the wine rep leaves behind for my staff to use (with an advert from a lower end wine we have by the glass).
This isn't that much better, and it's much bigger and heavier. Long and short, I'm back to using the double hinged throw away by "Pulltap's" (with Robert Talbot Vinyards on the body).
It does look nice, and now I have a wood-handled back up to the free one I've been using.

1 year review Apr 23, 2012
By Aaron Wilson
Purchased over a year for the high end restaurant that I work at. I always get many compliments on the wood inlay on it. The only qualm I have is the double hinged tab no longer stays closed on the body of the corkscrew. It just flops around which makes it hard to pinch on a pocket or something so it doesn't fall to the bottom of my apron. Overall unthought it's still chugging along. I may move to a different one just to see how I like those.

Double hinged Corkscrew Feb 14, 2011
By Allison
My husband and I love this thing. We were looking for a corkscrew with a double hinge and this is exactly what we were looking for. It looks pretty too.
A DECENT PRODUCT May 07, 2012
By Donny Brook
Not as well made has the original Spanish version but works well enough.
The "two step" piece allows the screw to remain straight unlike other types which crack or break the cork. Well worth it for the price.
