Laguiole Rossignol Champagne Sabre

If you have ever seen sabrage, the act of slicing off the top of a Champagne bottle rather than popping the cork, you know it is one of the coolest tricks around. It can be done using a any large sharp knife but Laguiole Rossignol has created a Champagne Sabre specially designed for this one stunt. The beautiful sabre is hand crafted in France featuring brass bolster, signature Laguiole "Bee" and riveted wood handle and a high carbon stainless steel blade. This ultimate party toy sells for $325.
