This Laguiole green camel bone corkscrew is a three-function waiter's corkscrew made by Laguiole en Aubrac in France. It cuts the foil, draws the cork and lifts a bottle cap, all from one folded tool.
The handle is a soft sea green with a fine, mottled texture. Set against polished steel, it looks cool and clean rather than showy. On a white tablecloth, it is the first thing people pick up.
The handle is green camel bone between shiny stainless steel bolsters. Folded, the corkscrew measures 4 3/4 inches (12 cm), which keeps it easy to store in a drawer. It arrives in a French oak gift box with a certificate of authenticity. A lifetime warranty covers any manufacturing defects. Each one is made in the village of Espalion, in the historic Laguiole area of France.
You will reach for it most in summer, when the rosé comes out and the table moves outside. It also makes an easy gift for anyone who opens wine often.
