Champagne Sword (Sabre à Champagne) for Sabrage
Exc VAT
Napoleon once said “"Champagne! In victory one deserves it; in defeat one needs it”. During the many parties to celebrate his victories, his light cavalry (Hussars) would open the champagne bottles with their sabres. It proved such a spectacle that this practice was adopted for ceremonial use and continues to both delight and amaze onlookers to this day.
The wielder must slide the sabre along the body of the bottle to break the neck away, leaving the neck of the bottle open and ready to pour. The cork and collar remain together after separating from the neck. The first glass poured should always be checked for small glass shards.
Our Champagne Sword is designed to resemble the French Briquet Sabres of the Napoleonic Period. It is constructed from stainless steel to require minimum maintenance and features a blunt blade which is perfect for the art of sabrage. Comes complete with a velvet covered and lined presentation case.
