French craftsmanship tradition with depth
Each Forge De Laguiole corkscrew is handcrafted in the Laguiole region of France following centuries-old traditions. The shepherd's cross on the handle tells the story of Catholic shepherds who used their knives as improvised prayer tools far from civilization. This cultural heritage gives the corkscrew's design depth and significance that goes beyond its practical function. The combination of black horn and stainless steel ensures both durability and a distinct visual profile.
Practical functionality in elegant packaging
Weighing only 90 grams, the corkscrew sits comfortably in the hand, and its compact size of 120 mm when closed makes it easy to store. When fully extended to a length of 175 mm, it provides optimal leverage for even the most stubborn corks. The stainless steel blade easily cuts through capsules, while the solid spiral screw effectively pulls the cork without breaking it. Please note that the natural horn material of the corkscrew requires hand washing – it is not dishwasher safe.
