The Chateau Laguiole® Classic was created in 1993 by Master Sommelier Guy Vialis and was the first actual waiter-style Laguiole style corkscrew on the market. Since it debuted, the Chateau Laguiole® brand has been the favorite among some of the world's best sommeliers and, to this day, is the most sold (and counterfeited) high-end waiter-style Laguiole corkscrew in the world. All genuine Chateau Laguiole corkscrews like this one are 100 % Made in France.
Handle Material: Reclaimed Oak barrel wood. Retired barrels are purchased and dismantled. The outside part of the handle is the inside area of the barrel, the side that is in contact with the wine. As a result, the finish is slightly rough and has the color and scent of aged wine.
The sheath: The original Chateau Laguiole black belt sheath is used by countless waiters around the world. This sheath accommodates belts up to 2 1/2" wide. Each sheath is made from carefully selected genuine cowhide and is manufactured by Max Capdebarth of France.
All Chateau Laguiole wine openers are made of 12C27 stainless steel and weigh around 4 oz (113 grams). The overall length closed is 4.5 inches (11.40 cm).
The foil cutter is serrated and measures 1.5/8 inches - 4.06 cm.
What's Included: Corkscrew - Gift Box - Registration QR Certificate - Leather Belt Sheath - Warranty & Repairs Support
