1 FOX KNIVES CHAMPAGNE SABER<br />

The tradition of opening a Champagne bottle<br />

with a saber was born in the Napoleonic<br />

era. The “sabrage” with the Briquet saber<br />

was founded in 1812 by the general himself<br />

after winning a battle. This unique custom<br />

has survived to this day, and not only in<br />

France. It is a special highlight at any festive<br />

occasion. When done correctly, it generally<br />

works without issue.<br />

After the wire basket is removed from the<br />

cork, one drives the blade of the saber along<br />

the bottleneck and onto the thickening of<br />

the neck below the bottle head. The whole<br />

bottle head comes off with a bang and the<br />

Champagne flows out. Any resulting glass<br />

fragments fly forward, propelled by the<br />

pressure. The torn off bottle head with the<br />

cork will be labeled with the date and will<br />

then serve as a reminder of the celebration<br />

or as a talisman. True to the original, the<br />

especially high quality Champagne Saber by<br />

Fox is manufactured in the famous cutlery<br />

workshop in Maniago, Italy.<br />

The blade is made of corrosion resistant<br />

T5MOV stainless steel. The sturdy handle<br />

is adorned with an intricate, elegant design.<br />

This Champagne Saber is certainly ready<br />

for any challenges at celebrations. Comes<br />

complete with an elegant wooden box and<br />

a decorative stand. Overall length 53 cm.<br />

Blade length 40 cm.<br />

2 VIPER MATHUSALEM DAMAST<br />

The champagne saber for the special<br />

occasions in life. The fascinating Damascus<br />

sharpened, and is made from 200 layers<br />

Damascus steel. Matching the exclusive<br />

beautifully polished cocobolo wood. Also<br />

of polished stainless steel, and a deep red<br />

handle cord with tassel. Limited to just<br />
