LE COQ FRANCAIS x GREENFIB Natural Waiter's Corkscrew
The Le Coq Français x GREENFIB Natural Waiter's Corkscrew is a classic sommelier knife, the go-to tool in the hospitality industry and among wine lovers who want to uncork a bottle with precision and ease. Unlike standalone lever-action or pump models, a waiter's corkscrew relies on controlled technique: it combines a spiral worm to penetrate the cork, an integrated foil cutter knife, and a single or double-hinged lever that rests on the rim of the bottle neck to extract the cork smoothly.
This model is the result of a collaboration between Le Coq Français and GREENFIB, combining their expertise in a project centered on natural materials. The "Natural" finish showcases raw or minimally processed components, aligning with an eco-responsible approach to crafting table and service accessories.
The waiter's corkscrew remains the preferred tool of professional sommeliers for its compact design: it slips neatly into a jacket or apron pocket without adding bulk, making it just as handy during dining room service as it is at home when entertaining guests. Its folding format protects the cutting blade and worm when closed, minimizing the risk of cuts during handling.
The brand Le Coq Français positions its table knives and service accessories around French manufacturing, combining artisanal tradition with rigorous quality standards. This waiter's corkscrew continues that legacy by delivering a functional tool, built to last and designed for regular use, whether in a professional setting or for everyday occasions.
Using a waiter's corkscrew follows a logical sequence: the foil cutter blade is first used to score and remove the foil capsule around the neck, the spiral worm is then screwed into the center of the cork to about three-quarters of its depth to avoid piercing all the way through, and the successive lever rests against the lip smoothly extract the cork without breaking or crumbling it into the wine.
