Laguiole Champagne Saber Product Details

The Laguiole Champagne Saber by Claude Dozorme is a masterfully crafted instrument designed for the grand tradition of sabrage. Combining historical reverence with modern French artisanal skill, these sabers are essential for those looking to celebrate victories and milestones with the flair of Napoleonic tradition. Proudly Handcrafted in Thiers, France.

The Art of Sabrage

Saber-opening a bottle of champagne is a ritual steeped in history. Originally popularized by Napoleon’s cavalry, who used their military sabers to open bottles while on horseback, this technique involves sliding the blade cleanly along the bottle's seam to pop the neck off. Claude Dozorme’s reissued sabers are weighted and balanced specifically for this dramatic gesture.

Design & Materials

Every saber features a robust 19.5-inch stainless steel blade. Following true saber tradition, the blade is blunt and inflexible, emphasizing the impact needed for a clean break rather than a cutting edge. Available in high-character natural woods like Olive Wood or Bubinga, the ergonomic handles are pinned and finished by hand for a secure, elegant grip.
