This Forge de Laguiole corkscrew features a handle crafted from genuine Juniper Wood, a small evergreen tree native to France. Juniper is one of the most beloved materials in Laguiole cutlery, prized for its light, creamy color accented by dark, "peppered" knots and a highly decorative grain. Its most legendary characteristic is its natural fragrance—a subtle, spicy, long-lasting, peppery scent released every time the wood is held in the hand.

Handmade in Laguiole, France, these corkscrews—often referred to as the "Sommeliers"—are the only high-end waiter-style tools to feature the traditional Shepherd's Cross meticulously pinned into 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 and completed by a single master craftsman to ensure the highest standards of quality and pride in the finished object.

Today, Forge de Laguiole represents the pinnacle of quality in the industry. With a reputation for integrity, ethics, and innovative design, this specialized team of 100 employees has established the brand as the essential choice for luxury Laguiole cutlery.

The Forge de Laguiole workshop is located in the historic village of Laguiole, France (population 1,300), the birthplace of this iconic style of cutlery in the early 1800s.
