Dalla Piazza Foil Cutter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a follow-up to a review of this same product I did in 2006 - Dalla Piazza Stainless Steel Foil Cutter.It's now 3.5 years later, the blades are slightly worn, but it's still going strong.I would buy again in a second!

Orig. review:
Short of sounding like a couple of lushes, to say my wife and I enjoy wine is a bit of an understatement. We have a speed wine opener, but have torn through several cheap plastic foil cutters. We finally decided it was time to get a quality one.

After reading Amazon reviews, we ended up with BonJour World's Best Foil Cutter. I was a bit surprised to see it was all plastic except for the blades, and my wife *hated* the amount of downward pressure required to use it (pushing down engages the blades). However, I was extremely surprised to have it break after 4 months. As a result, to vent my frustration I wrote up a one star review of that product.

Now back to the search and I saw this stainless steel cutter. I'm not sure if I missed it during the first search, or just ignored it because there were no reviews of it yet. However, this cutter is, in a word, awesome!

It's all metal so it has a good, solid feel when holding it. The jaws are spring loaded and stop slightly wider than a bottle opening. Squeeze, a quick twist left and right, and you have a perfect cut.

I'll admit, I didn't expect this kind of construction for what I consider an extremely low price, but wow! This is probably the best "value per dollar" purchase I've *ever* made!

On one of the cheapie plastic ones we previously owned, it had a magnet on the frame, which made it handy to store. The Dalla Piazza does not have a magnet, which would be the only improvement I'd want (and then there's probably an equal number of people who wouldn't want the magnet). However, that was an easy fix with a little epoxy. Now it truly is perfect. I love it, my wife loves it - Look no further, this is the cutter you want.
