you know what? i agree with the simple things. i was given this cheapo simple CS, similar to the Laguiole posted above. cheap plastic version. i picked it up, sweet talking the wine shop lady in tuscany. i think she thought it was wierd how i was at her family's vineyard, and i found the wild pigs the most interesting. anyways, this CS has a double hinged part. you get two stages of leverage. a high torque starter portion and i high travel finishing portion. no cork can resist. i pop that thing into my pocket everytime i run off with a bottle of wine.

if i could find a fancier version with the double leverage, i would grab it.
