Handle Material

This rare material comes from the fossilised tusks of woolly mammoths that lived over 10,000 years ago. Found deep in frozen ground (called permafrost) in places like Siberia, the ivory is carefully collected and shaped by hand. Each handle is completely unique, with natural patterns and colours that can’t be recreated — a true piece of ancient history.

Description

2026 Special Edition: Mammoth Ivory & Black Ebony Dual-Handle Corkscrew

Forge de Laguiole introduces a groundbreaking masterpiece to the 2026 Special Edition collection. Pushing the boundaries of traditional French craftsmanship, this extraordinary sommelier knife represents a historic milestone for the brand, offering an unprecedented combination of exotic materials and masterful detailing.

A Historic Dual-Material Handle
For the first time, Forge de Laguiole presents a corkscrew featuring a handle crafted from two distinct, highly prized materials. This piece pairs the rare, creamy white hues of heart of mammoth ivory with the deep, rich darkness of black ebony wood. The result is a striking, high-contrast visual interplay between black and white, creating a sophisticated aesthetic that commands attention.

Unrivalled Artistry and Detailing
Beyond its innovative dual-tone handle, this special edition is distinguished by an exceptional level of intricate craftsmanship, making it a true collector's treasure.

Chiselled Plates: The metal plates are meticulously chiselled all the way around the corkscrew, adding a layer of bespoke texture and elevated refinement to the profile.
Damascus Steel Blade: The foil cutter is upgraded to exquisite Damascus steel, celebrated for its exceptional durability and mesmerising, rippling grain patterns.
Botanical Engraving: The lever and the back of the spring feature a beautiful, deep laser engraving of intricate grape plants, paying a stunning homage to the vineyards and the timeless art of winemaking.

A triumph of modern design and legendary heritage, this dual-handle edition stands as the ultimate statement piece for the discerning wine enthusiast.
