Metrokane Houdini Lever Style Corkscrew with Foil Cutter-Silver

Product Description

The Houdini corkscrew is a popular priced lever corkscrew using the same mechanism as the Original Rabbit Corkscrew. It has a distinctive look with ergonomic curved handles and a shiny silver color. The Houdini achieved 20,000 cork pulls in an independent lab test. The warranty on this item is 5 years.

I love my Houdini. I first saw it at my sister's house and immediately
fell in love with it after using it for the first time.
I love mine and would seriously consider buying ths as a gift for everyone (who drinks).


We have a pile of wine openers, but this style works the best. The only thing that makes it better is when it's on a stand.


The corkscrew is flimsy. It is poor for opening synthetic or plastic closures. Because the handles separate when lying on it's side it is difficult to store in a drawer and I have to use a rubber band to hold the handles together when not in use. The product is barely adequate and 2 stars is really too high a rating. The foil cutter that came with it is worse and I never use it. That wouldn't even deserve a rating at all. You are probably better off buying a more expensive corkscrew that is sturdier and easier to work with.


I am a very can-do person, but before my Houdini I had gotten into my share of wrestling matches with wine bottles. I had even broken a spiral or two before I figured there had to be a better way.

The Houdini is slick. Getting the corkscrew to go in is no problem. So far as pulling the cork out is concerned, it does requires a certain amount of "give" in the handle to withdraw it successfully. With just a little patience and practice you will get the hang of it and you should be in business in short order.

This item often becomes a conversation piece for guests that are still pulling out corks the old-fashioned way.


O.K. This corkscrew works, but not that well. The silver color fools ya. You think it will be made of metal and be substantial. Well, guess again! It is mostly (or all) made of plastic. Thus, it makes using the necessary pressure to open a bottle of wine, difficult.
