Sommelier knife ZWILLING 39500-053-0 Black Stainless steel

The ZWILLING 39500-053-0 Sommelier knife is a compact, three-in-one wine service tool combining a foil cutter, corkscrew and bottle opener in a single folding design. Crafted with black stainless steel components and an ergonomic Micarta-style handle, it measures 80 mm wide, 150 mm deep and 27 mm high, providing a slim profile suitable for service at table or in a hospitality environment. The tool's forged spindle features a ridged, hardened construction with a non-stick coating and a double-lever mechanism with a flexible joint for controlled extraction of corks.

Advantages

The integrated foil cutter, corkscrew and bottle opener eliminate the need for multiple tools while the double-lever design reduces effort and improves leverage when extracting stubborn corks. Black stainless steel surfaces deliver a consistent aesthetic and corrosion resistance suited to frequent use. The compact folded dimensions make the sommelier knife easy to carry on a service apron or in a pocket, and the Micarta-style handle provides a stable, ergonomic grip for precise control.

How to use

Fold out the foil cutter to score and remove the capsule around the bottle neck. Open the corkscrew and insert the spiral into the center of the cork, turning clockwise until securely anchored.

Use the integrated bottle opener to remove crown caps as needed. Fold the tool closed after use and store in a dry place.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, ensure the spiral is centered in the cork and use the two-step lever to avoid excessive force; clean the sommelier knife after contact with wine or moisture and keep it folded when not in use.
