When you sign up to look at the offer, there’s a message that says something like “Yacov wants to give you $10 off on your next order”, I thought it might be you since you are ITB. Go sign up and look (unless you are already a member).
Could have been Yaacov too (same name). This was only offered to someone just signing up, so if you’ve been a member for awhile you probably won’t see it. Can’t take a screen shot of it now. Sorry, but I know what I saw.
Laguiole corkscrews are beautiful and durable, but expensive.
But they’re expensive and not quite as good at getting a cork out as a levered (2-stage) corkscrew.
Neither of which is as good as a Durand for a spongy or crumbly old cork prone to disintegration.
Has anyone had one of these long enough to sharpen the coil? If so, you did you go about it?
The one Laguiole I’ve used a few times (I don’t know which maker) works extremely well. It’s better ergonomically (more comfortable to use) than any other waiter’s corkscrew I’ve used, and I would say it is every bit as good at getting the cork out as a 2-stage type, which is impressive. I might actually buy one if a deal like this comes along when I have the money to spend.
