Description & specifications
Sommelier from French Laguiole en Aubrac in Olive. Designed by Michelin chef Michel Bras.
Laguiole en Aubrac has been around since 1829. From 1829 to 1880, the French company only produced steak and folding knives and it wasn't until 1880 that their corkscrews made their debut. The idea for the corkscrew came from the demand that had developed among men from the north of Aveyron who had traveled to Paris to work as waiters in the many small cafes.
The actual screw on these corkscrews is conical and therefore has a better entry into the cork. Furthermore, the 'hood' is molded and not bent, this means that it will not open and loosen over time.
The steel on this model is polished.
Maintenance & use
Never cut into bones or frozen items as this may damage the egg. Always wash the knife by hand and dry it thoroughly immediately.
Please note that both the blade and handle can be seriously damaged and broken if the knife is washed in a dishwasher – this also applies to stainless steel and wooden handles.
