French craftsmanship with a considered design
The corkscrew's conical worm with five turns is specifically designed to be gentle on even the most fragile corks from older vintage wines. The sharpened foil blade cuts precisely through the capsule, whilst the patented lever arm provides optimal resistance and control throughout the entire opening process. This reduces the risk of broken corks and ensures a seamless wine experience every time. Handmade in Laguiole, France, where the knifemaking tradition dates back to 1828, the iconic bee adorns the corkscrew's spine – the symbol of proud French craftsmanship.
Natural materials that bring character and durability
