A corkscrew for opening bottles with natural or synthetic corks that uses handgrip strength is provided. Handgrip force is applied to a hinged lever that transmits the force to the cork along its axial direction to pull-out the cork from the bottle. The geometry of the lever is such that the applied handgrip force is increased when transmitted to the cork pull-out direction. In the active state, the lever transmits the handgrip force to a saw-toothed extractor that engages a rack with a sequence of teeth, e.g., conical frusta, along its length and pulls-out the cork from the bottle, whereas in the inactive state, the rack, also equipped with a handle and a helical metal rod, can freely translate and rotate along its axis allowing the helical metal rod to be inserted into the cork. The corkscrew allows corks to be easily pulled-out from bottles with one hand.
