This Laguiole amourette wood corkscrew has a red-brown amourette handle and a polished stainless steel body. It is a three-function waiter's corkscrew from Laguiole en Aubrac.
Amourette is also called snakewood, and its dark flecked pattern shows why. The figure looks like scales under a deep reddish tone. Polished steel frames it with a bright, clean edge.
The handle is amourette wood, and the body is polished stainless steel. It includes 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.
It suits a dark wood dining table and a good Burgundy. You get one of the most distinctive woods in the range without the price of a DeLuxe model.
