Forge de Laguiole Corkscrew Oak Barrel Wood Handle - Shiny

Handmade in the village of Laguiole, France, the Forge de Laguiole "Sommeliers" as they are often called are the only high-end Laguiole waiter-style corkscrews to feature the traditional shepherd's cross on most models (check photos). This model does not have the shepherd's cross because the wood is raw and not sanded smooth to preserve the color of the wine stain.

This waiter's style wine opener was created in collaboration with professional sommeliers. Its ergonomics, elegance, and efficiency earned it the "Prix Design Plus" (the Design Plus award) in Frankfurt, Germany. Additionally, each one of these incredibly efficient masterpieces is entirely hand-assembled and completed by the same craftsman to ensure pride in the completed object.

Handle Material: Reclaimed Oak barrel wood. The outside part of the handle is the inside area of the barrel, the side that is in contact with the wine. As a result, the finish is slightly rough and has the color and scent of aged wine.

All Forge de Laguiole corkscrews are made of Martensitic stainless steel and weight around 3 oz (85 grams). It is important to note that high grade (and cost) martensitic stainless steel is used due to its hardness, strength and wear resistance qualities.
Overall length closed is 4.3/4 inches (12 cm). The foils cutter doubles as a bottle cap opener and measures 1.5/8 inches ~4.06 cm).
