BILAME (095223)

Description

The cork is not pierced, and thus does not crumble. As the legend goes, the Bilame was the favourite tool of waiters in French “ bistrots ”. Thanks to it, they could take a few sips from bottles and then replace corks without anyone noticing!

1. 1. First insert the tip of the longer blade, then the tip of the shorter blade.
   2. Rock the two blades vertically down one after the other, with short alternate movements.
   3. When the blades are completely driven in, remove the cork by turning and pulling
