Bespoke Champagne Saber
From the Wall Street Journal: "Napoleonic soldiers routinely popped champagne with a swipe of their swords — a tradition known as sabrage. In honor of the technique's resurgence, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts and French silver company Christofle are introducing a bespoke champagne saber
with a sterling-silver handle and stainless-steel blade (along with an optional master class), so enthusiasts can bring the ancient art home."
I wonder how it would work clearing brush in Georgia.
But I digress.
But perhaps you'd rather see the technique in action without buying the bespoke saber — I mean, what's to stop you from trying it with one of your kitchen knives?
Your wish is my demand: this video shows you what you need to know.
P.S. Don't come crying to me because you hurt yourself trying it.
