Key Features:

Hugger™ Patented Two-Step Boot Lever: Spring-loaded floating axis and crescent-shaped handle cutout keep the lever in a vertical position, hugging the cork during extraction for maximum leverage and minimal mess - ideal for high-volume service environments.
Open Spiral Nickel-Plated Worm with Filet: The etched line (filet) running down the spiral cuts into the cork faster than traditional worms, reducing effort and speeding up table turns in restaurant and catering settings.
Built-In Stainless Steel Serrated Knife: Integrated foil cutter retracts neatly into the handle, allowing efficient capsule removal without a separate tool.
Compact 5-1/8" Overall Length: Slim, pocket-friendly profile fits comfortably in a server's apron - purpose-built for front-of-house wine service.
Made in Italy: Precision-crafted construction with nickel-plated finish delivers durability and a professional appearance befitting fine dining, wineries, and catered events.
Two-Stage Cork Extraction: First boot lever notch levers the cork 7/8" out; pressing in activates the second notch to pull the remainder straight out cleanly, preventing breakage and cork fragmentation.
