waiter's friend
Pocket bottle opener
A waiter's friend is a compact corkscrew with a folding blade and lever, designed to fit in a pocket.
The blade cuts the foil capsule, and the lever braces against the bottle rim for easy cork extraction.
Standard equipment for restaurant servers and sommeliers: Every waiter carries a waiter's friend.
