Forge de Laguiole 12 cm Corkscrew Knife Oak Barrel Wood

Rated 5.0 out of 5
Based on 2 reviews

1 - In Stock

The Forge de Laguiole 12 cm Picnic Knife Oak Barrel Wood is a sophisticated tribute to French heritage, merging the legendary craftsmanship of Laguiole with the storied history of French viticulture. The handle is carved from recycled French Oak wine barrels, imbuing each piece with unique character earned through years of aging fine wines. This model includes a professional-grade corkscrew, making it the quintessential companion for enjoying a bottle of wine in the great outdoors or at a refined table.

Beyond its traditional role as a "picnic" tool, this 12 cm folder is increasingly recognized as the ultimate folding steak knife. While restaurants often provide heavy, serrated "saws" that can tear through even the finest cuts of meat, carrying your own personal Forge de Laguiole ensures a clean, effortless slice that preserves the juices and texture of a premium steak. It is an essential choice for the culinary connoisseur who demands a blade that respects the quality of the meal.

Like all Forge de Laguiole instruments, it showcases a forged T12 steel blade and a one-piece forged bee seamlessly integrated with a hand-decorated spring. Each masterpiece is crafted entirely by a single master artisan in the village of Laguiole, France, ensuring exceptional attention to detail and a deep sense of pride in the finished product.

What is a Forged Bee?

A forged bee is a hallmark of superior craftsmanship. You can identify it by examining the transition where the bee meets the decorated spring; if there are no visible gaps, the bee and spring were forged from a single piece of metal. This traditional method preserves the structural integrity and historical authenticity of the 1800s originals.

In contrast, many budget-friendly options feature soldered bees, recognizable by a straight gap or ridge where the bee is attached. Soldering is a modern, cost-saving method that lacks the durability and artisanal value of a true Forge de Laguiole instrument.

Pocket Knife

Pocket Knives are designed for cutting only. Please do not use it as a screwdriver, crowbar, or wood chisel, as this can cause irreversible damage and void the warranty.

Corkscrews

Important Note on Use: Waiter-style corkscrews are designed for use with a secure grip on the bottle neck. Please do not use the tool by clamping the bottle between your knees and pulling the handle. This technique often applies excessive force, which is likely to bend the screw (worm) and will immediately void the product warranty.

To keep your pocket knife or corkscrew in top condition, follow these maintenance tips:

  1. Lubricate Moving Parts: Periodically apply a few drops of lubricant to all moving parts. This ensures smooth operation and extends the life of your knife.
  2. Hand Wash Only: Always hand-wash your pocket knife. After washing, dry it quickly with a soft towel to prevent rust and corrosion.
  3. Recommended Lubricant: We highly recommend using Sentry-Solutions Tuf Glide for all our folding knives. It provides excellent lubrication and protection.

Important Note: Tuf Glide is not considered a "food-safe" product. Avoid using it on knives that come into contact with food.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that your item remains reliable and ready for your next adventure.
