Laguiole Sommelier in Aubrac White Mammoth Ivory Spring and Guilloché Plates Fly Prestige N°6 Damascus Blade

Laguiole Prestige Sommelier in Aubrac in White Mammoth Ivory and Damask Blade

Elegant, rare and entirely focused on the art of tasting, the Laguiole Prestige sommelier in Aubrac in white mammoth ivory with Damask blade brings together exceptional materials and remarkable cutlery work.

Its clear, bright handle contrasts with the undulations of Damascus steel and the shine of shiny stainless steel. The Prestige fly n°6, the guilloché spring, the chiseled plates and the small hand-worked bottle opener make this sommelier a functional instrument as well as a collector’s item.

Intended for wine lovers, connoisseurs and enthusiasts of French cutlery, it transforms the opening of a bottle into a precise and refined gesture.

A white mammoth ivory handle

The neck is fashioned from white mammoth ivory, an ancient fossil material whose tones can vary from bright white to delicate cream.

Its soft and deep appearance gives the sommelier great sobriety. Fine shades, lines or natural variations may appear in the material depending on the part selected. Each round has a particular identity.

Once adjusted and polished, mammoth ivory provides a smooth and bright surface. Its light shade forms a striking contrast with the darker patterns of the Damascus blade and the reliefs of the guilloché.

The high-gloss stainless steel finish elegantly frames the handle and accentuates its shine. The Prestige model in white mammoth ivory is presented with two shiny stainless steel bolsters and a polished finish.

A Damascus blade with unique patterns

The small bottle opener knife integrated into the sommelier is equipped with a Damascus steel blade.

Recognizable by its wavy patterns, Damascus has a succession of lines that seem to run across the surface of the steel. These drawings are the result of the work of metal layers assembled and then revealed during the finishing.

The arrangement of the patterns varies from one blade to another. Each small knife has its own design, reinforcing the singular character of the piece.

This blade cleanly cuts the cap around the neck of the bottle before the cork is extracted. Its bottle opener function also completes the versatility of the sommelier.

On the Sommeliers Prestige Laguiole in Aubrac with Damascus blade, the decorative work can be extended on the blade, the plates and the back of the small knife before the final assembly.

The meeting of two materials shaped by time

The combination of white mammoth ivory and Damascus steel creates a particularly harmonious aesthetic.

The purity of the handle responds to the dark and moving waves of the blade. Both materials have a naturally changing appearance: ivory reveals its fossil shades, while damask reveals its metallic patterns.

This contrast gives the sommelier a strong identity:

• the light of mammoth ivory;
• the characteristic undulations of the Damascus;
• the shine of shiny stainless steel;
• the reliefs of the manual guilloché;
• the depth of the Prestige fly n°6.

The whole remains balanced and elegant, without decorative overload.

A hand-chiseled Prestige fly n°6

The Prestige fly n°6 is one of the major signatures of this sommelier.

Forged and then chiseled by hand, it extends the spring and brings a relief decoration to the silhouette. The cutler works every hollow, every line and every volume to create a harmonious composition.

This fly is not simply an element attached to the handle. It is integrated into the construction of the spring and forms a visual link between the guilloché, the plates and the natural material.

Guilloché visible from all angles

The spring and the plates benefit from particularly detailed manual work.

Guilloché is the process of removing material using tools such as a file or grinding wheel to create lines, curves, and raised patterns. Manual production allows the cutler to adapt the decoration to the dimensions and lines of each piece.

The plates are worked on the top and bottom of the sommelier. The back of the small bottle opener knife is also guilloché, creating decorative continuity when the different elements are deployed.

Slight differences may appear between two copies. They bear witness to the manual work and give each sommelier his or her own character.

An ergonomic sommelier designed for wine

The Laguiole en Aubrac sommelier is distinguished by its undulating curves, designed to offer a natural and balanced grip.

Its conical spiral with five turns gradually penetrates the cork to facilitate its extraction. The small knife allows you to remove the capsule, while the lever accompanies the opening of the bottle.

This sommelier thus combines several essential functions:

• cut the capsule with the Damascus blade;
• extract the cork with the conical spiral;
• use the lever mechanism during opening;
• Open a bottle with a metal cap.

Each element folds into the handle to maintain a slim and elegant silhouette.

Care instructions

To preserve mammoth ivory and Damascus blade:

• Clean the sommelier with a soft, slightly damp cloth;
• dry all parts immediately;
• never immerse it in water;
• do not put it in the dishwasher;
• avoid abrasive sponges and harsh chemicals;
• protect it from sudden changes in temperature and humidity;

The Damascus blade should be kept clean and dry. In the case of a Damascus with steels sensitive to oxidation, a very thin layer of oil suitable for food contact can be applied from time to time.
