The sheath on this handy wine key does double duty. First, it forms a protective cover for the spiral, so that, while in your pocket, the point of the spiral will not poke through the pocket lining. Second, it screws off to form a firm crossbar handle to twist the worm into the cork and extract it. This is an inexpensive rendering of the classic, 2-Piece Travel / Pocket corkscrew, an inexpensive, effective add-along to a wine-related gift basket. Boxwood. MADE IN FRANCE.
