Laguiole Corkscrew knives are also called "Laguiole 2 piece". The corkscrew was added to the Laguiole knife in the 1880s. This addition was the result of the introduction of corked wine bottles in urban society, but also in response to the request by the people of Aveyron who had left to find work in the cafes of Paris. Cafe owners and waiters were to remain loyal to their traditions and were proud to use their 2-piece knife in the capital. Each picnic knife features a solid blade stop to protect the edge of the blade when closing the knife.
