During the Napoleonic era, victories were often celebrated with a champagne sabrage. It’s not just the weight of the knife or the curve of the blade that makes each sabre unique, some have beautiful etchings directly on the blade, others gorgeous handles made of exotic material, and some in gift boxes that says party right from the start. One I like in particular is from Laguiole Champagne Sabre with Rosewood Handle; it’s certainly impressive.
