Appearance varies when natural materials are used

Briar wood is a beautiful and durable handle material used in Forge de Laguiole products. Sourced from the root burl of the Erica arborea tree, it is primarily found in the Mediterranean region. Known for its intricate grain patterns and rich, warm hues ranging from golden brown to deep reddish tones, briar wood is highly prized for its unique aesthetic. It is also naturally heat-resistant and often carries a subtle, pleasant woody scent. This elegant material adds a touch of sophistication to each piece, making it a favourite among collectors and enthusiasts.

Handcrafted in the village of Laguiole, France, this Forge de Laguiole corkscrew features a richly textured Briar wood handle, renowned for its natural resilience, beautiful swirling grain, and subtle reddish hue. Traditionally used in high-end pipe making, Briar wood is both elegant and durable — a material that brings warmth and distinction to every piece.

Forged from stainless steel and assembled by a single master cutler, this corkscrew is fitted with a tapered spiral for smooth cork removal, a single-lever mechanism, and the signature hand-chiselled bee, emblematic of Forge de Laguiole’s legacy of fine craftsmanship.

The Briar wood corkscrew is a refined tool and collector’s item, ideal for wine lovers, generous hosts, and those who appreciate rare natural materials and true French heritage. Available now in Australia from the brand’s official importer.
