Laguiole en Aubrac Solid Horn Corkscrew
This Laguiole solid horn corkscrew sets a natural horn handle between shiny stainless steel bolsters. It is a classic three-function waiter's corkscrew from Laguiole en Aubrac in France.
The horn shifts from pale honey to deeper brown along its length. That gradient is the charm of horn, and it changes from piece to piece. Polished steel at both ends keeps the look crisp.
The handle is solid horn, with shiny stainless steel bolsters. It has a foil cutter, a corkscrew and a bottle opener. Folded, it measures 4 3/4 inches (12 cm). It comes in a French oak gift box with a certificate of authenticity. A lifetime warranty covers any manufacturing defects. It is made in the village of Espalion, in the historic Laguiole area of France.
Horn is the traditional choice, and it suits a dinner party as much as a quiet glass at home. If you are buying your first good corkscrew, this is a safe place to start.
