ZWILLING J.A. Henckels Sommelier Accessories Stainless Steel Foil Cutter

There are so many poor quality cutters on the market. A good quality one is an oversight for many, but I appreciate not having to fiddle and fight with every bottle.

Best one I’ve ever used, and should last forever.

This cutter does exactly as it is intended to do. I purchased it because I know the ZWILLING J.A. Henckels name is associated with quality, especially knives. The cutter works very well so far. However, I was surprised that it bends and has a rather flimsy feel to it. That should not deter you because, as I said, it works as intended and smoothly clips capsules. I have sommelier status and open many bottles of wine in a week. Perhaps an update in 6 months will be in order.

Easy to use. Not as sharp as I would have liked.

I was surprised when I bought this cutter. I would think Henckels would be great! Not so, the cutter barely cuts the foil wrapper - but it looks nice.

Looks, feels and operates as expected.

Modest pressure and one 365 degree turn and the top of the foil capsule is off. I like this capsule cutter because it takes one twist to cut through the foil.

This is a piece of trash. They probably spent more on the absurdly overdone packaging than they did on the product itself. The body is cheap plastic, and the “hinge” is so flimsy that it twists out of alignment as you squeeze it. The result is a mangled piece of foil, not a clean cut. I’d rather use a box cutter.
