This Laguiole buffalo horn corkscrew has a dark buffalo horn handle and a shiny stainless steel bolster. It is one of the most classic corkscrews Laguiole en Aubrac makes.
Buffalo horn is deep brown to nearly black, with subtle lighter streaks. Polished, it has a soft glow rather than a hard shine. It looks right at any table, from a bistro to a formal dinner.
The handle is buffalo horn, with a shiny stainless steel bolster. 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 limited lifetime warranty covers any manufacturing defects. It is made in the village of Espalion, in the historic Laguiole area of France.
If you only buy one corkscrew, dark horn is the one that goes with everything. You can also step up to the DeLuxe versions if you want carved detail.
