Handcrafted Sommelier Waiter's Corkscrew with Ebony & Bone Checkerboard Handle, Shiny Finish by Laguiole en Aubrac

Born of the knife Aveyronnais café owners carried into 19th-century Paris, this waiter's corkscrew is handcrafted by Laguiole en Aubrac in Espalion, France — assembled, adjusted, and finished by a single artisan cutler.

The handle is a hand-set checkerboard of ebony and bone — dark and light squares fitted piece by piece — against a shiny stainless bolster. Marquetry-level work on a tool you'll actually use.

• Three functions: foil cutter, corkscrew, and bottle opener
• Handle: ebony & bone checkerboard · Bolster: polished stainless steel
• 4¾ in (12 cm) long when folded
• Presented in a French oak gift box

A collector's piece from France's historic Laguiole cutlery region.
