This Laguiole Black Arctic Crust corkscrew has a handle that combines buffalo horn with mammoth ivory. Laguiole en Aubrac sets it between shiny stainless steel bolsters.
The handle mixes creamy ivory tones with darker horn, so it looks layered and weathered. It feels like an object with a long story behind it. The bright bolsters keep it crisp.
