Know-how from our Sialkot workshop

Did you know?

The first corkscrew patent went to a clergyman

The first patent for a corkscrew was granted in England in 1795 to the Reverend Samuel Henshall. His design added a small disc between the shank and the worm, which stopped the screw going too deep and helped twist the cork free of the glass. More than two centuries later, the same spiral worm folds into the cherry red handle of this Pakistan pocket knife, beside a 10.5 cm stainless blade.

Extras that turn a cherry red knife into a gift

A corkscrew knife is often bought as a present, so the add-ons that sell with it are the ones that protect it or dress it up:

Together they make a stainless Pakistan knife gift that is ready to use from the first bottle.

The story

From steel worm to pocket corkscrew

Corkscrews arrived once wine and beer were kept in glass bottles sealed with driven corks, in the seventeenth century. An early English name for the tool was a steel worm, probably borrowed from the gunsmith's worm used to pull wadding out of a musket barrel. It was soon combined with the folding knife, and in 1882 the German inventor Karl Wienke patented the waiter's friend, the hinged knife-and-corkscrew still carried by wine waiters.

This model follows the simpler pocket pattern: one 10.5 cm blade and a fold-out worm sharing a 12 cm handle of cherry red dyed wood with an inox bolster. It is a Pakistan knife built for the picnic blanket rather than the restaurant floor, and small enough for a jacket pocket.

Questions & answers

Cherry red corkscrew knife: maker, price and care

How is the cherry red corkscrew knife priced for buyers in Pakistan?

US$4.30 per piece (PKR 1,704 for buyers in Pakistan). From 50 pieces the price drops to US$3.01 per piece. For a larger order, send us the quantity on WhatsApp or by email and we will quote a lower rate.

How do I keep the red handle bright?

Keep it out of strong sunlight, which slowly fades dyed wood, and wipe off wine or fruit juice before it dries. Wash the blade and the worm by hand, dry them straight away, and never leave the knife soaking in the sink.
