What does an old school traditional corkscrew look like and where can I find a decent one?

I have used different brands of corkscrews and different types.
They have the traditional corkscrew, the butterfly(or lazy man's)corkscrew, and even the high tech corkscrews.
From my experience, the old school traditional corkscrews are the best. Remember this, make sure the corkscrew has a good serrated label cutter attached to it. I never think about the brand too much so long as it does a good job. If your guy likes wine, then stay away from the high tech and lazy man's corkscrews.

For a new style easy pop off corkscrew I would recommend : Legacy Corkpops Wine Bottle Opener. It costs $30 and is simple to use.

Most wine experts would recoil at this answer, but honestly, the corkscrew on my Swiss Army knife has been more reliable than any other one I have used to date.

We bought this one from Costco for ourselves last year and I love it! If you can't get it from Costco, it (and similar ones from other manufactures) will be fine.
