Our Steels
In order to provide an exceptional corkscrew, we use the best performing steels to guarantee a durable use of your Laguiole Magnum.
Blade
12C27 stainless steel.
Leverage
Z20C13 stainless teel or Damascus steels. Damascus steels are for the knife maker what gold is for the jeweler.
IMPORTANT: We have chosen to manufacture our Damascus blades with Damascus stainless steel bars sourced at Damasteel®. Given its expense, the Damascus steel is expected to retain its beauty through the years : this is what we do guarantee. A carbon steel Damascus is more "traditionnal" although it would lose the visible patterns through time. It can also rust if not wiped with some regularity. This is why we prefer to manufacture stainelss steel instead of carbon steel damascus.
Plates and bolsters
AISI430 stainless steel.
Spring
Forged Z20C13 stainless steel. The traditional bee is solid and forged into the spring. The spring and bee are then hand-chased with a file : This denotes artisan quality, unlike inexpensive mass market products that have welded springs and are machine decorated.
