Hello knife community, I’m looking to buy a knife with a waiter’s corkscrew.. A waiters corkscrew has a lever to assist in pulling the cork and a small foil cutting blade to remove the wrap. I’m looking for a full-size folding knife with a full size waiters corkscrew with a lanyard hole.


The Victorinox Winemaster looks like a very good option . I wanted to check the community for any other recommendations or options I might not have seen.


Also ,,, walnut or olive tree ? I’m liking the lighter olive tree.
 
Got to agree with cray, that Vic does look perfect.

As an alternative, most of the Leatherman Juice models have a corkscrew and a notch on the cap lifter for wine bottles.

Indeed they do. I carry one almost daily. It has opened a good amount of wine bottles over the years. I will say though that if I was doing that professionally or on a daily basis I would prefer something more robust.
 
My only two cents, I would probably go with Walnut, solely because I have a knife with Walnut handle and like it quite a bit. I might consider the fact that a darker handle conceals dirt/wear a bit better than a lighter one, although I don't know how the Vic might be in terms of finish, so even the lighter olive might not wear visible all that much, especially in a wine environment :D

Fair enough.

I would not get any of these if I needed professionally. In the chaos of a dinner rush, it is way too easy for another server to "borrow" a wine key and then you never see it again.

Really cool concept though.

Yes, yes! Get a dedicated opener. A box of them. They are not expensive.
 
Depends on what you mean by 'full size.'

If you mean a pocket knife for oenophiles with a blade the length of the handle instead of just the usual little foil cutter blade (and not a bigger knife), you could go for a 3.7 inch locking blade pocket knife:

No doubt a dedicated wine bottle opener is the most stable solution though, as others have mentioned.
