Two-Step Waiter's Corkscrews
Chateau Laguiole® - Made in France
Sold Out $199.00
The Chateau Laguiole® Classic was created in 1993 by Master Sommelier Guy Vialis and was the first true 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 Made in France.
Handle Material: Snakewood aka Amourette (Brosimum guianense). This incredibly beautiful wood originates mostly in Brazil's Suriname valley. The part sold as snakewood is really the heartwood of the larger tree. This wood is usually felled with axes and carried on the backs of natives over streams and through snake-infested jungle areas. Each tree felled is monitored and the Brazilian government has developed a strict permit process to control harvesting. The name was inspired by the snakeskin-like markings that decorate this exotic wood. Initially deep red in color, snakewood changes color upon being exposed to air, which makes the wood eventually turn reddish-brown; as you see it today.
