Description

Handmade in the village of Laguiole, France, this Forge de Laguiole corkscrew features a rare Bark Fossilised Oak handle, crafted from ancient oak preserved underground for centuries. This remarkable material retains the tree’s rugged outer texture — showcasing rich contrasts, visible markings, and the raw beauty of aged wood shaped by time.

True to Laguiole tradition, each corkscrew is handcrafted with every component created in-house under the same roof. It features a forged stainless steel body, a precision-tapered spiral for clean cork removal, a single-lever mechanism, and the signature stamped bee emblem, representing true French authenticity.

Tactile, rare, and full of character, the Bark Fossilised Oak Forge de Laguiole corkscrew is a conversation-worthy tool and collector’s piece. Now available in Australia from the brand’s official importer.

Bark of fossilised oak is a truly exceptional handle material used in Forge de Laguiole’s product range. Preserved for over 5,000 years, this rare wood carries a deep history, making each piece a testament to nature’s craftsmanship. The surface is intentionally kept flat to highlight the natural intricate grain, and unique texture. With its rich character and timeless appeal, fossilized oak bark offers an extraordinary connection to the past while embodying the elegance and authenticity of Laguiole tradition.

Standard vs Damascus

Stainless steel has a sleek and smooth surface.
