This Laguiole checkerboard corkscrew has a handle of ebony and inlaid bone, crafted to look like a checkerboard. Laguiole en Aubrac finishes it with a shiny steel bolster.
Black and ivory squares run the length of the handle. The effect is graphic, a little Art Deco, and very easy to recognise. It stands out on a table without any colour at all.
The handle is ebony with inlaid bone, arranged in a checkerboard pattern. The bolster has a shiny stainless steel finish. 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.
It suits a monochrome kitchen, a bistro-style bar or anyone who plays chess over a bottle of red. You will not mistake it for anyone else's corkscrew.
