“Unicork, a unicorn cockscrew”
Not to get all pedantic or anything, but that description isn’t selling it. For me, anyway.
The original review says “was”. At 1.2 pounds (544 g), I believe him.

Enough years on the internet has made me believe that a unicorn cockscrew would sell in huge numbers- but this ain’t one of those.

Amusing, but I’ll stick with a sommelier knife. Rack and pinion corkscrews are also handy, albeit too bulky for my taste.
I suspect the headline is a typo, but with Rob you can never be certain…

Yes. Anything with some leverage is better than a brute-force straight pull with an uncomfortable handle.

It’s a good (possible) typo. I hope he leaves it.

The duck corkscrews are pretty fun 
Aye, it sounds rather… uncomfortable.
Unless, of course, that sort of thing happens to be your fetish…

“The iPhone of corkscrews”.
So it becomes obsolete every 6 months?

I’ve corrected my mistake: the post is now properly tagged “sounding”

I’m both mildly disappointed and extremely relieved to find it’s the only article tagged “sounding”.
Lets keep it this way forever.
