Representing a bold evolution in French cutlery design, the Forge de Laguiole "Equinox" Collection is a masterpiece of symmetry and technical precision. While staying true to the brand's heritage, the Equinox series introduces a complex multi-material construction that requires an elite level of mastery to assemble. As with all pieces in our Collection series, this tool is handcrafted from start to finish by a single master artisan in Laguiole, France.
The Equinox Design: This model earns its name from the perfect balance of light and shadow on its handle. The handle features two of the most prestigious materials in the world—Genuine "Heart" Mammoth Ivory and Ebony—precisely centered and separated by a polished stainless steel ring. This central equator creates a striking transition between the deep, obsidian tones of the Ebony and the rare, luminous white character of the "Heart" Mammoth Ivory, resulting in an unparalleled modern aesthetic.
360° Hand-Chiseled Artistry: Setting the Equinox apart from other models is the exhaustive attention to detail on the frame. This piece features 360-degree decorative filing along the entirety of the liners. Combined with the signature hand-chiseled bee and spring, the intricate "guilloché" work wraps around the entire tool, ensuring that every angle of the corkscrew reveals the artisan’s unique touch.
Actual Item Photography: Because both Ebony and "Heart" Mammoth Ivory are organic materials with distinct grain patterns and natural color variations, every Equinox corkscrew is individually photographed. The images you see are of the exact tool you will receive. This total transparency allows you to appreciate the specific character of the materials, as well as the hand-chiseled bee and filed spring that are entirely unique to this specific piece, before it arrives.
Professional Grade Performance: Forged from high-grade Martensitic stainless steel, this tool features a professional-grade, non-serrated foil cutter designed for a clean, effortless cut. The foil cutter is expertly engineered to also serve as a functional bottle opener.
