Metrokane Silver Rabbit Corkscrew with Cutter

THIS IS A FAKE!! I have an original and wanted to buy for a friend. It clearly states by Metrokane, shows on the image Metrokane branding on the box, top of the corkscrew and middle of the cutter. What I received was a cheap copy and this is what I noticed first that the quality was rubbish and the colour starting already to peel off. Next on closer look, ontop of the corkscrew it say 'Rabbit' NOT Metrokane, in the middle of the cutter 'Rabbit' NOT Metrokane and lastly on the packaging where Metrokane is shown on the image above is a peel off sticker that says '10 yr guarantee'. I am absolutely disgusted that this has slipped through the crack and hate FAKES!! Amazon as always handles very well but they cannot remove the item until someone else complains. I would like to save you the trouble because this a a piece of trash at premium price.

I bought one of these for a friend as a replacement for a similar corkscrew (same design, different make) that had broken. This corkscrew is very well made and feels very sturdy. If you haven't used one of these before they are excellent corkscrews. They grip the head of the bottle and then remove the cork by you pulling the lever over the bottle and back again. They take a bit of wrist strength to pull the arm down towards the bottle and pull the cork out, but are far less fiddly than a conventional corkscrew. The same action is repeated to remove the cork from the device - it is all very simple.

Good product, although the case that it is stored in is very poor. I had the screw pull but got this for a friend. The screw pulll has a nicer case.
