This Forge de Laguiole corkscrew features a vibrant handle crafted from high-density Compressed Cotton Fabric. This innovative, U.S.-made material is created by layering cotton fabric with specialized resins under immense pressure, resulting in a handle that is actually harder than wood. Engineered for professional environments, this material is highly resistant to water, heat, and wear, ensuring its bold color and smooth, ergonomic feel remain perfect even after years of heavy 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.
