(Part 2) Best corckscrews & openers according to redditors

Buy one now, before you need it.

I have this one, the extra bend in the folding part makes every wine easy to open, and I have yet to break a cork, as it doesn't bend the cork.

IIRC they've recently updated rules on "bring your own cup day"; to where it has to actually be something a person would actually drink from. IE: No inflatable pools, but something like this would be allowed

https://www.amazon.ca/BigMouth-Inc-Gigantic-Red-Party/dp/B00DJAYRIO

One option that will remove the cork without leaving any residue in the bottle would be a "butler's thief" cork puller. They're usually quite inexpensive and will take the cork out without damaging it further.

Here's one on Amazon at a pretty reasonable price. https://www.amazon.com/Norpro-A2B-Cork-Puller/dp/B000HMDOBI/

Here's a video that shows how to use this style cork puller.

New addition to my keychain. It's a US army issue can opener first developed back in the 40's. They will last pretty much forever, stories abound of guys still carrying (and using) their grandfathers P-38 which was passed on to them. It's super compact, it pretty much disappears on a keychain and it can be used for a number of other purposes - flat blade screwdriver, scraper, the blade is perfect for cleaning under your nails or opening packages. The name comes from the 38 times you have to puncture a can with it to open it. There is a larger version called the P-51 which is a little heavier duty and easier to operate, but either will open a can easily.

Amazon sells two of them here for three bucks, or you can get a twenty pack here for ten bucks. I bought the twenty pack and scattered some around the house and in my vehicles, figure I will never have to worry about not having a can opener again.

As you can see this is an older bottle of Scotch, bottled in 2004. The cork broke on me and this opener worked like a charm to extract the broken piece from the neck. Came out clean without a single piece of cork falling in. I've only had to use this thing a few times, but it's real nice to have when you need it. This one is the Ah So wine opener, comes in a nice little case and everything: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0774XBXN6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Furthermore, keep those corks. I have a big old bag of corks collected from every bottle I've killed, I was able to find a replacement no problem.

A stepped corkscrew is a good place to start. An Ah-So is good for older wines. For very fragile corks, try a Corkpops or Durand which is basically an integrated Ah-so and corkscrew.

Excellent question! I'm Jeff Who. In the government, if you want to move money to black ops, you use loopholes in regulations for federal contractors to shift money between divisions outside federal oversight.

Amazon uses secret products that if you buy them, it funnels profits directly to my BO. The BO project is funded entirely by sales of this product.

This is basically what those CO2 bottle openers do, except they use food grade clean CO2 instead of some grimy bike pump, and they probably cost more than a good bike pump.

CorkPop CO2 wine bottle opener. Something like this was used in a Columbo episode, guy was poisoning people with the opener.

Amazon

(Reviews say it's garbage though.)

Goes great with giant Solo cup. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DJAYRIO

Commonly known as an "ah so" probably because when you use it someone in the room always says "ah, so that's how it works!"

I swear by them - once you're used to them they're easy to use and don't tear the cork apart.

It's there

Buy a couple of jar openers at a kitchen store.

You could go the other way. Each one holds a 6-pack.

Amazon

You can purchase this here.

Where OP got them, I couldn't tell you, but they are available on amazon here. They also have a few different colors/finishes you can choose from.

Tip, buy one of these before you need one https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B000HMDOBI/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3NHX3LXTXUK0K&colid=3341IZ3DJB8CZ

Come in! Want a beer?

Is that one of your incredibly futuristic James-Bondish spy gadgets!?

First off, how was it stored? Wines like to be stored on their side, in a dark place, with a low temperature fluctuation, and somewhat cool.

What state is the bottle in? Any leakages? How full is it?

Also, what is the winery? It'd have to be a pretty decent bottle of wine to begin with to last 28 years.

If you decide to open it and try it, look into a cork puller or a cork pusher, because a traditional corkscrew would probably destroy the cork, and you'd have to strain it out :)

Here is the link to the suspension clips. I just received a couple of them myself. They seem pretty good so far.

so, "go kayla go"

This Because when your drinking good beer and having a good time you don't have to hunt around for a bottle opener. You just have that shit on your finger. Pretty epic

I don't think it would work very well. I'd just pick up a few P-38s for just a few bucks

Amazon has dozens of different wall-mount "old timey" openers like that.

Buy a bunch of P-38 and P-51 can openers. They're small so you can pack a couple as emergency can openers in your car, home, office, or wherever.

Balisong tricks and get this.

I've used these before and they're not great, but are sure cheap.

These seem like they would work well.

Not amazing, but do get the job done, but take some effort. They do have a bunch of other uses, though.

Never let his happen to you!!

Why not?

I use these almost exclusively; I have one my great grandfather bought in germany after the war that I use every day.

This is what I use on questionable corks, IMO it can't be beat but I'm sure someone will tell me they're a bad idea! Anything more than 20 years old I use it.

cheap but classy

You gotta be more specific in your original questions buddy.

First of all, there are 2 reasons to remove an animal from a trap. To rescue (and minimize harm to the animal), or to harvest (and minimize damage to the trap). Here in bushcrafter land, I wouldn't usually assume you aren't planning on eating what was caught in the trap.....

It does sound like you are looking for the rescue side of things, and this is for a film, and you are looking for realism..

A swiss army knife or basic folding pocketknife are fairly realistic options for what a typical person might have with them with just a general plan of being 'prepared'. Something like 4-5inch Condor Bushlore is a decent approximation for what a more bushcraft oriented person might have with them in a wilderness setting. Someone who is going out intentionally to rescue animals from traps though, that is an entirely different question! For that you'd want a blunt tip, the type found in rescue knives, and/or EMT scissors.

For realism, most of us here know enough about the various types of knife that we could likely give you good answers - but you really should explain what kind of realism you are actually going for.

Average outdoorsy person with basic 'preparedness' is likely to have something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-Army-Huntsman-Leather/dp/B000IOI0NC/

Or this:

https://www.amazon.com/Gerber-Spine-Fixed-Blade-Camping/dp/B07DDCG3HD

Average Joe who has no idea of what makes a knife good or useful is likely to have something like this:

https://www.amazon.com/Tac-Force-Police-Assisted-Tactical-Rescue/dp/B01LZ0T3N9



Average bushcraft subreddit user probably has something similar to:

https://www.amazon.com/Condor-Tool-Knife-Bushlore-Hardwood/dp/B002CC6BPM

but wishes they had:

https://www.amazon.com/Benchmade-162-Bushcrafter-Drop-Point/dp/B00B0E1MB6

Someone going out with them intention of rescuing persons or animals would probably be carrying something like this though:

https://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Rescue-Tool-Pocket-Fluorescent/dp/B000PX0LKG

https://www.amazon.com/Spyderco-Assist-Orange-Handle-Rescue/dp/B0012G6KI2

https://www.amazon.com/LEATHERMAN-832590-Raptor-Shears/dp/B07N6P2RCB

https://www.amazon.com/DGX-Titanium-Coated-Stainless-Shears/dp/B01B2YF0AM

And then finally, I'll say this - pretty much anything sharper than a butter knife can be used to safely rescue an animal from most situations. Hell I could probably do it with a can opener or nail clippers. So just decide what sort of situation you expect your characters to have intentionally been prepared for, and go from there.

https://www.amazon.com/GI-P-38-Can-Opener-5-pack/dp/B005EAIXAU

Use either your shirt, or one of those grippy jar opening things.

I just use my shirt. Takes significantly less effort to open this way.

Not the same model, but you can get a standalone Channellock opener

OMG, but check this! No one ever washes these =)

that bottle opener isn't just a gag for bike tool manufacturers, its a gag with all tool manufacturers. Klein tools (electrician gear) makes one. And so does Channellock

P38 or P51 can opener. Open up the delicious, scrumptious, and absolutely important cans of Hatch green chilis the first night out (mentioned in another reply).

But it opens boxes for resupply, tightens screws on poles, clears out iced up bindings on skis, will open a beer bottle in a pinch when you buy some local craft beer (that has not transition to cans), scrapes out a pot, etc. etc. etc.

The P51 is easier to use if slightly larger than the P38. I tried weighing them once. They did not show up on a digital scale.

​

Where to get? Local surplus store, hardware store, or Amazon (of course). A 20 pack of 10 ea of the P51 and P38 can be purchased for $12. https://www.amazon.com/U-S-Opener-Pack-Military-Issue/dp/B00DMSQT5M (non-affiliate link). These are the US made Shelby ones that last. At this price, no reason to buy the knock-off brands.

​

Besides outdoor use, it is always on my keychain and comes in handy more than I would think.

Bear head I have two and mounted them outside on my deck entrance. $7


If you want to be artistic, mount it on a block on rough hand sanded wood stained to match the friend's ascetics. You'd still be under budget and your manliness scale will go up.

I just bought mine from Amazon, but there are tons of places that sell them now.

edit: here it is on Amazon.

I think this is both useful and interesting. It's also under $2 so if I win hopefully you can gift someone else.

Thanks for the contest!

This bottle-opener ring is super nifty for a frequent beer and handmade soda drinker like myself.

I actually bought these. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005EAIXAU/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They're cheap and they are the real thing from the company that supposedly made the army ones. The other ones I posted, I think they were the wrong ones. Sorry.

Moet & Chandon Imperial is a good choice and it's not that bad in price, either. As for a complimentary gift... CHEESE! Or if she likes pasta, make her a dinner and a have wine night :)
These are also good finds that go with wine!

I bought the 'B' Letter and mine is filling up! The napa wine chiller works amazing too!

I don't know if anyone's suggested this yet but everyone loves a butter fly knife bottle opener.

EDIT: There's also a whole slew of EPIC stuff here and here. Not just limited to $75-100 though. Happy shopping!

Technically it's a weapon, but checking CruiseCritic real quick seems like a hit or miss - some people say no problem as long as the blade is <5" , others say they've been stopped by security for less.

To not risk your knife - you can try one of those cheap corkscrews that look like a pen that cost a $1 at the liquior store checkout line. I actually brought one of those on board a HAL ship before with no trouble. Another option would be a butler's wine opener - less "weapony" than the other options.

on another note, it's kinda sad MURICA has also made these

Since you'll likely be replacing it, pick up a pulltap, literally the last corkscrew you'll ever own

Found it https://www.amazon.com/Kikkerland-Luchador-Bottle-Opener-Assorted/dp/B007HI3EIS

There is a specific Cork removal tool for older bottles. Should check it out for next time you're in this situation.

And do yourself a favor and get a decent corkscrew like the Pulltap he was using in the video.

i'm pretty much with the crowd of get a decent 2-step one like this: https://www.amazon.com/Prestige-Rosewood-Coutale-Sommelier-Spring-Loaded/dp/B00659W9UE

great call on the durand, but that's really for old bottles where the cork is going to cause problems. you can approximate that, however, with just about any ah-so. https://www.amazon.com/DeVine-Wine-Opener-Vintage-Bottles/dp/B00TNSV4DC/ref=sr_1_7?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1537730169&sr=1-7&keywords=ah+so+wine+opener
