Champagne Sabers

This saber is the work of a single master cutler whose craft begins with shaping the horn and concludes with fitting the blade. The saber is slid along the bottle body towards the neck with a dry shot. The force of the blade that strikes the lip of the neck is sufficient to break the glass and separate the neck from the bottle collar which, together with the cap, is fired away by the force of the gas contained in the wine. If applied correctly, the technique is effective with any sparkling wine.

Laguiole en Aubrac sabers are made from unique materials. Made in France with French-made components.

Champagne Sabers: questions

Still have a question?

Email info@laguioleenaubracshop.com and a real person will help you choose. Or see our full FAQ.

Is the saber blade sharp?

No, and on purpose. The 10.6 in (265 mm) 12C27 stainless blade is left unsharpened, because sabrage works by striking the lip of the bottle with the back of the blade, not by cutting.

Where are the sabers made?

They are handcrafted by Laguiole en Aubrac in the Aubrac region of France. What changes from one saber to another is the handle.

Can I return an item?

Yes. Unused items in new condition and in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days. Email info@laguioleenaubracshop.com for a return authorization number first. Details are in our return policy.
