2026 Special Edition: Blue Stabilised Maple & Mosaic Rivet Corkscrew
Forge de Laguiole presents another striking masterpiece from the exclusive 2026 Special Edition collection. This sommelier knife seamlessly marries the historic expertise of French knife-making with meticulous, jewellery-like detailing, resulting in a tool that is as visually captivating as it is functional.
Blue Stabilised Maple & Intricate Mosaic Rivet The centrepiece of this special edition is its magnificent handle, crafted from vibrant blue stabilised maple. This specialised treatment enhances the natural, complex grain of the maple wood while infusing it with a rich, enduring blue hue. Perfectly complementing this stunning material is the inclusion of an intricate mosaic rivet. The complex geometric pattern within the mosaic pin draws the eye, elevating the vivid tones of the wood and adding a layer of bespoke sophistication rarely seen in traditional wine tools.

Stamped Bee
Hand Chiseled Bee
Stamped vs Hand Chiseled
A Stamped Bee is created by pressing a metal die onto a surface to imprint a uniform design, while a Hand Chiseled Bee is meticulously carved by hand, allowing for unique, intricate details and variations. The hand-chiseled bee has a more personalised, artistic touch.
Standard Blade
Damascus Blade
Standard vs Damascus
Stainless steel has a sleek and smooth surface.
Damascus steel features distinctive, flowing patterns that resemble waves or ripples, with contrasting dark and light bands. These patterns are created by about 300 layers of steel being folded and welded together, giving each piece a unique, artistic look.
Standard Lever
Engraved Lever
Standard vs Engraved
A Standard Lever has a simple, functional design without any embellishments.
An Engraved Lever features an intricate pattern carved into the surface, creating a detailed, custom look. Engraving adds a decorative element, making it more personalised and unique.
Satin Finish
High Polish Finish
Satin vs High Polish
Satin Finish has a smooth, matte appearance with a soft glow, reducing reflections and providing a more understated, textured look.
High Polish Finish is highly reflective, giving a glossy, mirror-like shine that highlights the surface's smoothness and depth.
