Laguiole Corkscrews in Stag Horn – Raw Tradition, Refined by Hand
Stag Horn – A Noble Material from the Wild
Stag horn, or natural antler, is a material with deep historical roots. For centuries, it has been used to craft tools, weapons, and ceremonial objects — valued for its strength, texture, and symbolic power. Each piece of horn is formed through a natural growth cycle, bearing the marks of the animal’s life and the passage of time.
Its surface is irregular, its color varying from pale cream to rich amber or dark brown. Sometimes speckled, sometimes striated, it feels alive under the fingers — warm, tactile, unmistakably organic. When polished and shaped into a Laguiole corkscrew, it becomes something entirely new: a connection between wilderness and refined craft.
A Laguiole made in stag horn is a perfect choice for those who appreciate materials with story, substance, and soul. It’s rustic without being raw, authentic without being austere — a piece to be used and admired for a lifetime.
The Classic Stag Horn Corkscrew – Naturally Expressive
In its most authentic version, the stag horn handle retains much of its natural texture — only lightly shaped to follow the curve of the hand and polished to a satin glow. The result is a surface that tells its story: sometimes smooth, sometimes porous or ridged, like a fossil of growth etched by time.
This model is more than ergonomic — it feels alive. The horn’s density gives it reassuring weight, while its subtle variations offer tactile interest in every use. No two are alike. If you value individuality, durability, and organic beauty, this is a sommelier corkscrew that will age with character — just like the wines it opens.
A raw, noble companion — made to serve with elegance.
With a Sculpted Bee – Wild Meets Symbol
When the tactile power of stag horn is paired with a hand-sculpted bee, the result is a Laguiole corkscrew that unites opposites: the untamed and the refined, the natural and the symbolic. The bee, delicately engraved into the steel spring, stands as an emblem of craftsmanship — precise, patient, intentional.
Alongside the guilloché detailing, it forms a sommelier of rare balance — elegant without ostentation, rustic without roughness. This version is perfect as a meaningful gift, combining depth of material with artisanal heritage. It doesn’t just open wine — it opens conversation.
For those who see symbolism in every gesture.
Sculpted Bolsters & Chiseled Liners – Nature Framed in Art
The most elaborate models feature sculpted bolsters and chiseled liners — turning raw stag horn into a fully adorned creation. The steel bolsters are engraved with vegetal motifs that echo forests and roots, while the liners add a gleam of geometric rhythm to the rustic surface.
Here, nature is not tamed — it is exalted. The irregular charm of the horn finds its perfect foil in the precision of the metalwork. This sommelier corkscrew becomes a collector’s piece, steeped in contrast and rich in story. It invites admiration before the first bottle is ever opened.
A tool elevated to ritual. A material framed as sculpture.
Antler as a Gift – A Gesture of Strength and Uniqueness
To offer a Laguiole corkscrew in stag horn is to offer a piece of elemental beauty. No resin, no imitation — just a real antler, shaped by weather and time, refined by hand, and made to serve. Its feel is organic, its weight grounding, its surface unpredictable and sincere.
This is a material that speaks to hunters, wine lovers, and anyone who values objects with soul. Whether for a milestone, a symbolic thank you, or a gesture of esteem, it carries weight. The kind you don’t forget.
