When I travel, my favorite souvenirs tend to be practical - things I can use often. Most often, they have to do with food and drink. One of my absolute favorite possessions is a Laguiole waiter's friend that I got while on my honeymoon in France. At the time, it was a big purchase for me, costing around $90 or so. I've now had this particular corkscrew for close to 8 years, and together we've opened hundreds of bottles of wine. If you've never used a waiter's friend before, they can take some getting used to. They have a blade, similar to one found on a pocket knife, that's used to remove the foil from a bottle. The actual uncorking is done by lever action. Once you've got the opening technique down, though, you'll never feel the need to switch to another type of corkscrew.

Could you describe me what kind of Laguiole corkscrew you saw ?
