Wine Opener for that special bottle...

Architect · Nov 16, 2001

I found this in the October issue of Forbes FYI, but didn't get around to posting until now. I thought $200 for a Forge De Laguiole wine opener was a bit much, but apparently I was wrong!

Damascus frame and blades with Mother of Pearl interframe inlay and hand-forged worm. If I recall correctly, it was priced at $4,700.

Wow. Little do they know if they bought Boone's Farm wine, it has a screw-on cap...

Ahh,

to be rich and frivolous

Sad - but if I had the money, I think I'd buy it

That is a NICE-lookin' wine bottle opener, but I'd still rather shoot-off the tops of MY wine bottles (MD2020, NightTrain, Ripple) with my Glock 10mm...That 155 grain Federal HP takes-off the tops really well!.

Dietmar Kressler is one of the finest knifemakers in the world. That might have something to do with the price of that "bottle opener."
