This Forge de Laguiole corkscrew features a handle crafted from Thuya Wood, a rare and exotic burl sourced from the Atlas Mountains. This wood is world-renowned for its exquisite grain pattern, characterized by dense clusters of small "eyes" and a rich color ranging from golden-brown to deep mahogany.
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.
Thuya (Tetraclinis articulata) imported from Morocco's Atlas mountain region, North Africa.
I purchased two of these with different engravings for my kids. They were quite surprised and love the look and quality of the product. Theirs match mine, which has served me well for decades. A unique heirloom-quality gift for those difficult to buy for.
