Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Metrokane Golden Rabbit, TitaniumCustomer Review: Beautiful and solid Summary: 5 Stars
I think it may be more beautiful than the picture! It's definitely even shinier than shown. The gold tone is a little darker than real gold, but very striking.
This thing is HEAVY! My kitchen scale says it weighs 2 pounds, 5 ounces. I personally love that, since it's such solid construction. Everything is metal, including the "gears," which was important to me.
In case anyone is confused like I was, it's die-cast metal, plated in gold-colored titanium. I don't think there's any gold in it, nor is it solid titanium. Probably obvious, but... Also, it does have the nice bristly rubber pads on the handle like the other Rabbits, which makes it very comfortable. The black-and-clear clamshell box that it comes in is basically the same as for others.
Functionally, the action is very smooth. I just opened a bottle and it moved cleanly.
If asked for a "con," I was disappointed to notice that the foil cutter has only two cutting wheels, unlike the four in my original Rabbit. But it didn't make a different on the bottle I just opened.
I can't wait to invite people over and wow them.
Description of Metrokane Golden Rabbit, TitaniumDesigned specifically for people whose wine preferences lean more toward a $400 bottle of Château Margaux than a $2.99 bottle table wine, the award-winning Metrokane Golden Rabbit corkscrew is a treasure. The corkscrew is made of all die-cast, triple-plated titanium gold-- a special alloy that matches the luster of gold but with more durability. Even better for wine fans, it retains the feature that has made the Rabbit corkscrew so popular among enophiles--it pulls a cork in three seconds flat. The Rabbit features two gripping handles that latch on top of a wine bottle. A third top handle drives the corkscrew into the cork and then quickly removes it, just like that. Metrokane corkscrews are independently tested for 20,000 cork pulls; tests assume replacement of the spiral after 1,000 pulls. The design is ergonomic and easy to use, ensuring that neither hand cramps nor failed attempts to pop the cork will trouble the user. The Golden Rabbit comes with a die-cast, titanium gold-plated foil cutter, and carries a 10-year warranty. --Rivers Janssen
