Corkscrews + Champagne Sabres

Five grooved spirals made of hardened stainless steel guarantees a flawless extraction of corks. The 10cm blade offers an excellent cutting quality. 

Originally sold as a working man’s knife, an Opinel knife has become emblematic of French culture, with Pablo Picasso reportedly using one as a sculpting tool. Each knife is made of a beechwood handle and stainless steel blade. Opinel is recognized in the Victoria & Albert Museum as one of the 100 best designs, along with the Porsche 911 and the Rolex Watch.

The Aubrac plateau and the village of Laguiole (pron. layol) have lent their name to these hand-crafted French knives. Beware of cheap imitations; machine-manufactured copycats can be found that mimic this original design.

The stainless steel is made from pieces of the late Concorde plane, which was purchased at an auction in Toulouse by Laguiole en Aubrac. The steel is complemented by a white Corian handle, a five threaded helical coil and foil cutter. Each corkscrew is unique, and contains the artisan's engraving. The produce comes with certificate of authenticity. 

In 1828 a local blacksmith in the French village of Laguiole (pronounced Lay-ol) hammered out the town’s first folding knife. A few decades later, as knife-making developed into a local industry, designer Pierre Jean Calmels refined the rustic pattern, giving the handle its signature sinuous shape and finishing each piece with ornamental flourishes such as bumblebees and shepherds’ crosses. After two world wars depleted manpower and wiped out production, the workshop reopened as Forge de Laguiole in 1987 under the direction of designer Philippe Starck.

In your quest for all things Laguiole, beware of cheap imitations. The name Laguiole was never patented, so unlike legally protected denominations or origin such as Champagne, mass and machine-manufactured copycats can be found that mimic the original design.

Care: Hand washing recommended - dry immediately.

Since 1926, L’Atelier du Vin has specialized in supplies and equipment for wine-making, bottling and serving. Today, L’Atelier du Vin, thanks to its research, its wine tools and its wine education tools, is a specialist in being able to cover every step in the life of a wine from the cellar to the glass.

The Dubost family has been creating knives and fine cutlery for four generations.  The original design of the Laguiole knife was inspired by a shepherd’s tool.  Each Laguiole en Aubrac product continues to be hand-made in the village of Laguiole, located in southern France, whose population has remained under 2,000 people since the 1800s.
