YES, I have broken a corkscrew on a folder while attempting to pull a corkscrewe out.

And I remember it well. 18 months ago at the end of a six mile walk, using my buck summit the corkscrew part actually pulled out of the knife, while trying to yank the cork out. It broke at the base of the screw, not the joint.

Pretty shocking since the knife is otherwise great. I got the cork out using an SAK with a corkscrew.


Victorinox has a knife called "the waiter" which is their smallest knife with a corkscrew. Also has a knife and combo toll -can opener, bottle opener, screwdriver. Works well.
