How We Are Different

Sonoma Champagne Sabres has sold champagne sabres (or sabers, as many Americans spell it) since 2011 from our family workshop in Windsor, in California's Sonoma County. Here's what sets us apart.

We don't advertise, and that's good for you.

Many of our competitors source inexpensive items from places they won't name, which leaves them room in their margins to spend heavily on advertising. A single click on an ad can cost $50-$90 on Google and other platforms. In the end, that cost is paid by the customer, who ends up with a lesser-quality product at a higher price. We'd rather put that money into the product itself.

Our reviews are real.

Every review of ours is collected through a trusted third-party service, so you can be confident that what you read is genuine. Many of our competitors don't use independent platforms like Judge.me or Trustpilot. Read our verified reviews.

We're proud to name our makers.

Our products come from small, boutique workshops with a long history of craftsmanship, in renowned cutlery centers such as Thiers, France, and Maniago, Italy. We're happy to tell you exactly who they are: Fox Knives, Berkel, Laguiole en Aubrac, Claude Dozorme, Henry Tuke, Viper by Tecnocut, Due Cigni, WKC - Weyersberg Kirschbaum Cie, and our own Morgan King collection. Most of them work in small batches, which allows for more detailed customization. Many competitors buy from unnamed sources, selling mass-produced items that they brand as luxury.

We're a small, family-run business, and it shows in every order.

Every sabre is handled, inspected, and prepared by a family member or a very close friend. We open every box, check each sabre and stand for flaws, then clean and polish them by hand before anything ships. We import our products from Europe and finish them in our own workshop on our property. All engraving and customization is done by us, never a third-party vendor, which is how most orders ship within 48 hours without cutting corners on quality. Read our story.

When you call, we answer.

A real person picks up the phone, and emails get a quick reply. If you're not sure which sabre is right, call or email for a personal consultation before you buy.

Every gift arrives ready to give.

We gift wrap your sabre and include a real greeting card with your personal message, packed in a sturdy shipping box. If you're sending a sabre as a gift, you can trust that it will arrive looking its best and mean everything it should. See our gift wrap.

We stand behind every sabre.

We guarantee our products and our service. If something isn't right, we'll make it right. See our returns policy.

We do this to create moments people never forget.

Nothing brings us more joy than hearing from our customers. They share stories of their weddings, milestones, and celebrations, and how much their sabre meant to the day. We love what we do and the wonderful people we meet along the way. Some retailers flood your inbox with promotions; when we email, it's because we have something worth sharing. We would rather earn your trust with great service and a product we're proud of.
