About the original
Forge de Laguiole is a French cutler founded in 1987 in the village of Laguiole, Aveyron, making knives and sommelier tools by hand in a single workshop designed by Philippe Starck. The corkscrew is their standard sommelier model, a folding waiter's friend with a stainless-steel worm, foil cutter, and bolstered handle, and each piece is forged, assembled, and finished by a single craftsman who signs the blade. The Supreme FW2021 version applies a box-logo engraving to the handle of the production tool; the mechanism and construction are unchanged.
About Forge de Laguiole
Forge de Laguiole is a French cutlery manufacturer founded in 1987 by Gerard Boissins in Laguiole, a village on the Aubrac plateau in Aveyron. The company revived knife production in the village after a sixty-year gap, when most Laguiole-pattern knives had migrated to Thiers following the First World War. Every knife is forged, assembled, and finished on-site by a single cutler, with handles in horn, wood, or bone and the traditional bee bolster. Philippe Starck designed the original factory building in 1987. Supreme has collaborated with Forge de Laguiole on a co-branded folding pocket knife.
