My trusty old friend that I always forget to use. 7 years and the corkscrew and bottle opener remain unused. The knife and scissor have done some good work tho! (sopuli.xyz)

Most corkscrew models have a very similar twin with a Phillips instead. Since I don't drink wine, I've always gone with those.

On the other hand, the corkscrews can be used in various other ways. Among other things, they make a good improvised marlin spike for untying tight knots.

There are also several kinds of accessories that can be carried inside the corkscrew. Victorinox makes a glasses-sized Phillips that for that. There are also aftermarket fire starters and other gadgets.
