This Laguiole maple wood corkscrew pairs a golden wavy maple handle with a shiny steel bolster. Laguiole en Aubrac makes it in France as a classic three-function waiter's corkscrew.
Wavy maple has a rippled figure that seems to move as you turn it. The tone is light and warm, close to honey. It brightens a table without adding colour.
The handle is maple wood, with a shiny stainless steel bolster. It includes a foil cutter, a corkscrew and a bottle opener. Folded, it measures 4 3/4 inches (12 cm). It arrives 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.
Light wood suits Scandinavian kitchens and pale oak tables. You can pair it with white wine and spring dinners. It is also a gentle choice for someone who finds dark horn too heavy.
