L'Iroquois corkscrew dark Blue 3155C PLA with white box packaging

Ancestral inspiration for universal values

L'Iroquois is the LIGNE W waiter's corkscrew, the one you open with one hand, over the table, without putting the bottle down. Its brushed stainless steel body carries three tools: a double lever system, two successive rests on the neck that draw the cork out in two stages, without forcing; a Teflon worm, the spiral that goes into the cork, coated so that it enters without tearing it; and a serrated foil cutter. That mechanism is the same on all 38 references of the range: only the handle changes. The L'Iroquois collection draws its inspiration from the ancestral values of the First Nations, respect for nature, community life and hospitality, and from materials chosen for their footprint, plant-based PLA and wood. On the site, the range gathers three handle lines around that single body: L'Iroquois Colors, twenty colours of PLA handle dyed throughout, at 24 €, in a white box; Urban Street Art, sixteen patterns printed by sublimation on a PBT handle, at 39 €, in a magnetic tube; and Urban Zinc, a zinc handle and 136 grams in the hand, at 49 €, in a white box or in a tube. PLA is not a petroleum plastic: it is a material made from renewable plant resources, sugar cane and corn. Dyed throughout, it gives a light handle that cannot chip since the colour is in the material itself, and it comes here in twenty shades, from white to midnight blue 296C. Within LIGNE W, L'Iroquois is the colour and pattern line, at the price of a working tool. L'Iroquois Wood uses exactly the same body and mechanism with a hevea handle, at 30 € in a box and 34 € in a tube. L'Essentiel, at 15 €, keeps the double lever on a soft TPR handle, with neither material nor pattern. Above them, W Origine at 45 € and W Signature from 120 to 250 € move up in material, oak barrel wood, woods and horns, and in packaging, a wax-sealed box or a magnetic wooden case, with longer catalogue warranties, 2 years and 5 years. Against a Château LAGUIOLE® sommelier knife, the difference is not a level of finish, it is a construction: the Château LAGUIOLE® carries a forged bee, one or two bolsters (the metal pieces set at the ends of the handle), liners (the metal plates that grip the handle and hold the mechanism) and guilloching (the decorative patterns engraved into the spring). L'Iroquois carries none of them: a brushed stainless steel body, a handle made of one single material, and the whole argument in the colour, the pattern or the weight of the metal. LIGNE W was founded in 2008 by Sébastien Lézier; its sommelier knives, noted for their design and their double lever, are made in France, in Thiers (Puy-de-Dôme), which our catalogue calls the French capital of cutlery. Since late 2017, LIGNE W has also run Château LAGUIOLE®, created in 1993 by the sommelier Guy Vialis, who died in 2016; both brands have lived since 2021 under the Maison Château LAGUIOLE umbrella. L'Iroquois is the line through which the house makes that service mechanism accessible: the same double lever, the same Teflon worm, the same foil cutter as on the more expensive sommelier knives of the catalogue, from 24 €. The MCL catalogue gives it a 1 year warranty, a duration confirmed by the CEO on 12/09/2026. The lifetime warranty does not apply to LIGNE W: it belongs to the Château LAGUIOLE® Privilege Member Programme and covers only Château LAGUIOLE® knives registered by their owner.
