Laguiole En Aubrac Waiter's Corkscrew

Yes, authentic Italian buffalo horn is a dense, resilient material that holds up well over time. While it is a natural product and should be kept away from extreme heat or prolonged moisture, it is robust enough for regular use in a home or professional bar.

Absolutely. The tapered, cone-shaped worm is designed to penetrate the cork more smoothly and grip it more securely than a standard straight worm. This reduces the risk of the cork crumbling or breaking during extraction.

The arched shape of the lever provides better leverage and a more natural fulcrum point. This design allows you to extract the cork in a smooth, continuous motion with significantly less physical effort compared to flat-lever corkscrews.

Because this is a handcrafted tool with a natural handle, you should hand wash it only and dry it immediately. Avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as this can damage the horn and the finish of the stainless steel.

Yes, the blade is finely serrated, which is specifically engineered to grip and slice through thick or stubborn foil capsules cleanly. It is designed to be sharp and precise, so handle it with care.
