Smooth, One-Motion Cork Extraction

Weight, Warmth, and Precision

The Soft Machine® Brass is a wine opener that blends substance and style. Made of solid brass and stainless steel, and finished entirely by hand, it offers a tactile experience as smooth as its performance.
Behind its timeless silhouette lies a patented mechanical system that makes opening a bottle both effortless and precise. This is a tool created not only to perform, but to be seen, held, and passed down.

A Unique Gear System

The core of the Soft Machine® design is its rack and pinion gear system, which allows the cork to be extracted vertically in a single, fluid motion — without twisting, tearing, or damaging the cork. Whether old or new, natural or synthetic, the result is always smooth and reliable.
An integrated foil-cutting blade is discreetly built into the body, as well as a bottle opener, making this tool as complete as it is elegant.

How to Use (3 Simple Steps)

1. Cut the foil using the integrated cutting wheel.
2. Center the spiral on the cork and twist until the red mark appears. Hold the support arm firmly on the bottle neck.
3. Pull up the handle — the cork is released in one smooth motion.

A Corkscrew That Holds Its Place

The brass body gives the tool a distinctive weight and golden glow, offering a contrast of warmth and clarity to the polished steel. It fits comfortably in the hand, with perfect balance, and slips neatly into its matte black storage box — designed for safekeeping over time.
The brass will develop a natural patina with use, giving each corkscrew a unique character. It can also be polished to maintain its original brilliance.

Also available in rosewood, crystal, and silver finishes.
