This Forge de Laguiole corkscrew features a handle crafted from a solid Light Horn Tip. The tip is the densest and most durable part of the horn, providing a substantial, weighted feel in the hand. This material is highly prized for its luminous, translucent quality, ranging from creamy whites and pale yellows to rich honey tones, with natural marbling that makes every piece unique.
Handmade in Laguiole, France, these corkscrews—often referred to as the "Sommeliers"—are the only high-end waiter-style tools featuring the traditional Shepherd's Cross meticulously pinned to the handle.
Developed in collaboration with professional sommeliers worldwide, this tool’s ergonomics, elegance, and efficiency earned it the prestigious "Prix Design Plus" award in Frankfurt, Germany. Each masterpiece is entirely hand-assembled by a single master craftsman to ensure the highest standards of quality and a sense of pride in the finished object.
Horn Tip from domestic cattle. The tip of the horn is the hardest and most durable, Inferior horn handles are made from the bottom of the horn which will warp with time.
