The sabrage is an ancient military tradition that dates back to the period of Napoleon’s military campaigns. Napoleon’s Ussars officers used to open champagne bottles with their favorite weapon: the saber.

The spectacular practice has grown into a new celebratory way to open sparkling wine bottles, now performed with special shorter and blunt sabers. Opening a bottle of sparkling wine with proper sabrage ensures an explosive evening! The saber proposed by proseccoshoppe.com is specifically designed for sabrage, as it is blunt and not sharp at the point; sabrage (sciabolata in Italian) is a technique that requires a bit of practice and dexterity.

The Dagger, or Little Pao Santos Saber,  is a smaller version of the traditional saber by Maserin, the leading high quality  staineless steel knives manufacturer in Maniago del Friuli;  entirely Made in Italy, this elegant stainless steel Dagger, is 47 cm long, hiltless, but with an engraved  stainless steel guard.  The handle is carved in Pao Santos wood, a rare Brazilian wood in use in naval carpentry and violin-making. The Dagger is best suited for expert Sabreurs.

Packaged in a dedicated wood gift box, we also offer customized engravings (write to Customer Service info@proseccoshoppe.com)
