This Laguiole brushed steel corkscrew is made entirely of stainless steel, with a brushed handle and body. It is the most understated corkscrew Laguiole en Aubrac makes, and one of the most practical.
A brushed finish has a soft, satin look instead of a mirror shine. Fingerprints show less, and small scuffs blend in. It feels like a tool made for a working bar.
The handle and body are both brushed stainless steel. It has three functions: 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.
If you open wine most nights, this is the one to keep in the kitchen drawer. It also suits anyone who likes their tools plain and well made.
