Thuja wood corkscrew – top-quality French craftsmanship
This sommelier corkscrew from Forge de Laguiole combines traditional French craftsmanship with professional functionality. Handmade in the Laguiole region with a handle of warm thuja wood and stainless steel, it weighs a comfortable 100 grams. The conical worm with five turns is designed for gentle opening of even the most delicate wine corks.
Ideal for wine enthusiasts, restaurants and bars where both function and aesthetics play a decisive role in wine service.
Handcrafted with expertise and care
This corkscrew has been developed in collaboration with professional sommeliers, ensuring that every detail serves a purpose. The sharpened foil blade cuts precisely through the capsule, whilst the patented lever arm provides optimal resistance during extraction. The five-turn spiral is conically shaped to minimise the risk of broken corks – particularly important with older vintage wines. The thuja wood handle not only gives a warm, natural appearance but also provides a secure grip during use.
Heritage and craftsmanship in every detail
When you hold this corkscrew, you hold a piece of French cultural history. Forge de Laguiole has been producing quality knives since 1828, and this tradition is reflected in every detail of the corkscrew. The iconic bee on the spine is not merely a logo, but a symbol of generations of pride and craftsmanship. Each piece is unique thanks to the natural grain and colour of the thuja wood, and the satin-matt finish on the steel complements the warm warmth of the wood. At 100 grams, it sits perfectly in the hand – not too heavy, not too light.
Care and handling
Proper care is required to preserve the corkscrew's beauty and functionality. Never wash it in the dishwasher; instead, clean it gently by hand and dry it thoroughly after use. The thuja wood will develop further character and patina over time, which only enhances its personal quality. Store the corkscrew in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to ensure its longevity.
With this corkscrew from Forge de Laguiole, you get:
• A professional tool developed together with sommeliers

Can the corkscrew's worm be replaced if it becomes blunt?
