The Campagnolo corkscrew faithfully reflects the genius of its inventor, Tullio Campagnolo......These technical features and the use of the finest raw materials have made this corkscrew a must, a symbol of genius that is recognized throughout the world.
One prerequisite of a design classic is that function has to be as good as form. The double-lever corkscrews are, I'm afraid, crap. The Waiter's Friend works much better - the clue is in the name.
...an ancient Roman would recognise it immediately.[/QUOTE]No he wouldn't. That is a wire nail made in mild steel. The Romans used hand forged square section tapered nails with square heads, usually iron but occasionally copper where that was better e.g. boats and some roofs.
A Roman would have wondered why you needed something that big to get bogeys out of your nose.
