Soft Machine Blade – Le Pierre

A handcrafted tribute that unites the art of wine and the art of cutting in one masterful creation.

Soft Machine Blade – Le Pierre: a masterpiece in motion

Created in homage to Pierre, a visionary figure in the history of the Maison, the Soft Machine Blade – Le Pierre embodies decades of passion and savoir-faire. This exceptional edition joins the Soft Machine collection as a true collector’s piece — an object that does more than open bottles; it tells a story.

The dialogue between noble wood and resilient metals is far from accidental. The warmth of ebony and the strength of solid hand-worked stainless steel echo the character of the man who led the family company for generations, sharing his love of wine and craftsmanship.

Its unique rack-and-pinion system allows bottles to be opened in one smooth, continuous motion. Precision, fluidity and control combine in a natural gesture that transforms uncorking into an almost choreographed ritual.

Design and materials: nobility, precision and craftsmanship

The deep, velvety ebony body contrasts elegantly with mirror-polished stainless steel and refined brass details. Each piece is hand-varnished, reinforcing its status as an authentic work of craftsmanship.

The large comma-shaped blade — echoing the curve of the ebony handle — is ideal for slicing cheese or saucisson without damaging plates or cutting boards. The second blade, smaller yet equally robust, ensures clean and precise cuts through bottle foil.

The folding stainless-steel blade nestles discreetly into the wooden handle, revealing its sharp efficiency only when needed. Inspired by the tradition of classic folding knives, it balances ergonomics, safety and elegance with perfect harmony.

The return of the folding knife corkscrew

Our forebears understood this well: one should always carry a corkscrew and a small knife. A slice of bread, a piece of cheese, a bottle of wine — under a tree, at dusk, in the vineyards or on a countryside picnic, two simple tools are enough to elevate the everyday.

In this bold creation, the wine merchant’s bottle opener and the vintner’s folding knife come together in a traveller’s sommelier corkscrew. Far less cumbersome than a table knife, kitchen knife or traditional double-lever opener, the Soft Machine Blade – Le Pierre fits effortlessly into a pocket and rests naturally in the hand.

When held, every curve corresponds to a useful and fluid gesture — cutting, removing foil, uncorking. A perfect harmony of technique, ergonomics and aesthetics that makes this object a true piece of table artistry.
