STORY

When your provisions for the day include cheese and wine, the Laguiole Olivewood Corkscrew is a must. Handmade and engraved with the mark of France’s finest cutlery — the Imperial Bee — it brings exceptional craftsmanship to even the most modest of picnics. A folding corkscrew, bottle opener, and blade all tuck neatly into each other for a humble tool worthy of an expert sommelier. The serrated stainless steel blade is designed to slice with ease (and makes removing the foil from a wine bottle a breeze). Its distinctly graceful design shines in the attractive and durable grain of the olivewood scales and twice-polished blade. Made by the oldest producer of Laguiole-style knives and constructed start-to-finish by a single craftsman, this piece proudly carries on the traditions of 18th-century France.
