THE CODE38 ORIGINE FORMS THE BASIS OF THE CODE38 MODEL RANGE AND COMPRISES A GLASS BEAD BLAST TEXTURED CHASSIS WITH HAND POLISHED LIFTER AND SHARPENABLE FOIL BLADE.
From here we have fitted a French made precision cold forged un-grooved stainless steel helix. The Code38 Origine and Code38 Pro models are high performance Wine Knives and are the choice of many hospitality professionals working within the premium end of the industry.
The Code38 Origine is designed for professional sommeliers, and wine connoissuers alike.

A BLEND OF POLISHED AND TEXTURED SURFACES
Sleek, elegant and perfectly balanced, the Code38′s main chassis or body is sculptered in solid surgical grade stainless steel (316 grade) and for grip is bead blasted to create a fine peened surface texture. This finely textured chassis is then matched to a polished stainless steel lifter and foil blade.
The Origine model shares the same chassis and finishes as the Pro model resulting in a final package which is a perfect blend of textures and finishes which feels wonderful in the hand.
LONG HIGH PRECISION HELIX
All of the helixes used in the Code38 range are produced in France by a small company called Gorce. Each helix passes through many productions steps and quality control stages and is easily the finest helix available. We are lucky to be able to partner with a company who has a long family history of producing helixes and shares the same quality ethos as we do.
The helix and it’s mounting point are under extreme and repeated pressures and is one of the first areas to fail. The Code38 is designed to last a lifetime of heavy use and has a guarantee to back this. We can only afford to use the highest specified helixes and componenets available.
REMOVE CAPS FAST
Designed to catch under the caps rim securely and with speed, the cap remover takes the cap off the first time everytime.
This is acheived by two thick tangs on either side of the helix shank which are shaped to match the circumference of the bottle top itself. We call it a profile matched cap remover and the end result is fast and effective. Important attributes when working within a busy high pressure hospitality environment.
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN FOR COMMERCIAL WORKLOADS
One of the most highly stressed and therefore areas of failure on a Wine Key is the lifter pivot. While it cannot be seen from the surface, the Code38 ‘s lifter power-pivot design rotates on a large diameter internal pivot boss capable of repeatedly high work loads.
This power-pivot design also incorporates a constant friction element to ensure the pivot action never becomes loose or floppy. The visible flat pan head screw simply retains the whole pivot assembly and actually takes very little of the load.
"Since discovering the Code38, my other corkscrews are gathering dust! The Code38 is very solid in the hand, extremely well made and works beautifully. The screw is long enough to work effectively with Bordeaux corks and the positioning of the lever makes removing even the toughest corks a breeze. They’ll bury me with this one in my pocket".
Darrin Siegfried – President – The Sommelier Society of America
“The Code38 is a beautifully engineered wine knife. Its sophisticated design is not only visually attractive but its solid weight and balance in the hand gives superb leverage and feel. The corkscrew has good length and the blade is clean and curved. Unlike other ‘waiters friends’ I have used, its mechanisms are well-sprung and move with impressive ease. These important elements synchronise, making the Code38 a pleasure to use. With the reassurance of a lifetime guarantee, this is not only a fine instrument to work with, but a luxury piece for those who appreciate style and functionality in design.”
Sophie Otton – Head Sommelier – Rockpool Bar & Grill – Australia
“Not only is the Code38 the best wine key in the world but it also the most efficient. A Sommeliers dream…”
