The tradition of decapitating a bottle of champagne with a sabre originated in the age of Napoleon. The sabrage with the Briquet sabre was initiated by the general himself in 1812 after a battle had been won. This unique custom has survived to this day, and not only in France. It provides a special highlight at every festive occasion. When used correctly, it usually works without any problems. Once the wire basket has been removed from the cork, the blade of the sabre is struck with a sensitive movement along the neck of the bottle on the thickening below the bottle top. The bottle head pops forward with a bang and the champagne flows out. The cut-off bottle top with cork is inscribed with the date and then serves as a memento of the celebration or as a talisman. The particularly high-quality champagne sabre from Fox is manufactured true to the original in the well-known cutlery manufactory in Maniago, Italy. The blade is made of T5MoV stainless steel and is adorned with the word Perlage (French for sparkling and semi-sparkling wine). The nickel-plated iron handle is particularly elaborate, with its lovingly decorated guard and pommel providing the necessary sparkle. This champagne sabre is certainly up to any challenge at festivities. Supplied with an elegant wooden box.
