This Forge de Laguiole corkscrew features a handle crafted from genuine French Walnut (Noyer). Historically favored by French royalty and master cabinetmakers, Walnut is celebrated for its deep, warm chocolate tones and its elegant, flowing grain patterns. It is a wood that breathes history; it is incredibly stable, feels remarkably soft and "satin-like" to the touch, and develops a magnificent natural patina that grows more beautiful with every decade of use.
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.
Gunstock burled walnut harvested in France. Please note that the actual handle color and pattern of the item you receive may vary from the stock photos.
