Usually a more uniform grind. It's not any more frivolous than an
expensive wine bottle opener. I have the original "screwpull" that
was a gift. Before their patent ran out they went for $149. I have a
99 cent opener I carry in my tackle box. They both open a wine
bottle. I think you know where I'm going.
