Laguiole Corkscrews

Since 1880 the town of Laguiole in the Aubrac region of southern France has been crafting the finest hand made knifes and corkscrews in the world. Over the years refinements like stainless steel have been incorporated into the designs, but little else has changed. Several companies from the region have developed world class reputations and Laguiole knifes and corkscrews have evolved into a class of their own.

The two top manufacturers in the region are Chateau Laguiole and Forge de Laguiole

Chateau Laguiole corkscrews (pronounced “Lie Yull”) are considered by many to be the finest hand made Laguiole corkscrews in the world. Often copied, but never equaled, each instrument is made with wood or horn, and is simply a pleasure to use.

The craftsman’s careful work, combined with a selection of woods, horn and bone, make these corkscrews and knives truly unique examples of hand made luxury.
