Representing the absolute pinnacle of French craftsmanship, the Forge de Laguiole Collection Series is designed for the most discerning wine professionals and collectors. Staying true to the brand's uncompromising ethics, every piece in this series is manufactured from start to finish by a single master craftsman in the historic village of Laguiole, France. This "Collection" designation signifies a level of artistic detail that sets it apart from all other sommelier tools.
Actual Item Photography: Because Juniper wood features incredibly unique grain patterns, knots, and swirling textures, every corkscrew in this collection is individually photographed. The images shown are of the exact tool you will receive. This ensures total transparency, allowing you to choose the specific aesthetic character and hand-chiseled "guilloché" artistry of your unique piece before it arrives.
Hand-Chiseled Artistry: Unlike standard models, every "Collection" corkscrew features a bee and spring that are entirely hand-filed and chiseled by the same artisan who forged the tool. This intricate work is a unique signature of the maker, ensuring that no two pieces are ever identical. Furthermore, the boot lever is exquisitely decorated, following the refined aesthetic of the Pinot Noir series, adding a final touch of elegance to its functional design.
Handle Character: This model features a handle crafted from genuine Juniper Wood with a sophisticated Satin Finish. Known for its peppery, aromatic scent that persists for years, Juniper is a prized wood in French cutlery. The satin finish provides a soft, natural feel in the hand while highlighting the warm, complex hues and rustic beauty of the wood grain.
Professional Grade Steel & Features: This corkscrew is forged from high-grade Martensitic stainless steel, chosen for its exceptional hardness and wear resistance. It features a professional-grade, non-serrated foil cutter for a clean cut and easy sharpening. The foil cutter blade is also engineered to function as an effective bottle cap opener.
