In this article, we will talk in depth about this sabre and its special features.

History of the champagne sabre

The champagne sabre is an object that has a long and curious history. Its origin dates back to the Napoleonic era, when French troops used a type of sabre called a "briquet" as an infantry weapon. This sabre had a short blade, but was very effective not only for hand-to-hand combat, but also for practical tasks such as clearing brush. Soldiers called it this because of its resemblance to the firelighters they used at the time.

Over time, the briquet became the quintessential French infantry sabre and an indispensable tool in the Napoleonic Wars. Napoleon I was known for his love of champagne and lived by the rule of "drinking champagne when I win to celebrate and drinking champagne when I lose to console myself." The famous French general and emperor (or his officers) is said to have invented the method known as "sabrage" or "sabre" to open champagne bottles in spectacular fashion.

This method involves using the blunt back of a sabre to strike the top of a champagne bottle right on the neck, causing the mouth of the bottle to separate while the liquid remains inside. It is still used on special occasions and ceremonies as a sign of celebration and elegance.

Characteristics of champagne sabre

The champagne sabre we offer here is designed following the characteristic features of the original French briquette as closely as possible. The blade is slightly curved and blunt with a strong back and a pointed place, and is made of easy-care stainless steel. The aluminium handle has a typical temple guard with a short, downward-curved guard element.

The sabre is significantly shorter than the iconic infantry sabre that served as a model for it, and is more reminiscent of a large knife, but its design and detailing are equally impressive. It has an overall length of approximately 42.5 cm, a blade length of approximately 29.3 cm, a blade thickness of approximately 5 mm (cutting edge approximately 2 mm), and a handle length of approximately 13.2 cm (handle section approximately 10 cm). Furthermore, the maximum width of the blade is approximately 4 cm, and its center of gravity is located at approximately 6.5 cm from the hilt.

The dark blue velvet covered wooden presentation box is extremely elegant and practical, allowing the sabre to be stored and transported safely and without risk of damage and also allowing it to be displayed for all to admire.

The champagne sabre in a wooden box 0210320100 is not only a collector's item or decoration, but also a useful tool for champagne lovers.
