The Sommelier's Sabre

I bought this saber and a case of sparkling wine (because I never sabered a champagne, I figured I'd mess it up the first few times). I posted the picture of the saber in the display case, with the white gloves for effect, on Facebook. Then, my once-a-year buddy, who happens to throw the "Key West Food and Wine Fest" (yearly, last week in January), saw it and said "Bring it!"

I said I was flying and I don't think the airlines would look kindly upon a saber! I said I'll pay for it, here is the site and you can even have it engraved. So he did. When I got there, I asked him if he got it and he said "Yes!" and without missing a beat, he said you need to saber a champagne, in front of the whole crowd. I am like, oh no, I didn't practice, this is gonna be embarrassing if I goof. Too bad I can't post pictures in the review!

Luckily, it went off without a hitch and it went perfectly! So 5 stars twice, one for mine (which still has not met the bottle), and one for "Key West Food and Wine Fest"!

I have purchased your saber last year for my best friends 50th birthday. When our best friends got married and had an epic light saber wedding dance, I just knew I had to buy one of your sabers for them as a gift. They LOVED it! Thank you so much for the memorable gift.

The Sabre I received is a little different than pictured. The handle was all black with no gold and the red ribbon part was black. It’s different than pictured. I also don’t like the stand it came with that is different than pictured above. The Sabre is on an angle and it doesn’t look good I will have to purchase a different stand elsewhere. They shipped it right away which was nice. Shipping and duties were almost $200 CDN so it really added up if you’re ordering from Canada. Overall I am happy with it, I just wish I got exactly what was pictured.

Wrapping was very nice. Recipient loves it and is delighted with the engravings on both sides. Perfect silly but cool gift. Goal: drink more champagne.

This sabre was a gift for my husband, to celebrate completion of his masters degree. We have this and many other celebrations to come in the near future, and champagne will be all the more special when opened with this amazing piece of workmanship. The quality and weight of the sabre was impressive. It arrived here in New Zealand sooner than I'd expected.

The reputation of Due Cigni blades is unparalleled and this sabre did not disappoint. It is beautiful, but more importantly it functions really well. We've already used it on several bottles of Champagne and it has never failed us. I also need to commend Sonoma Champagne Sabres on the great customer service. The blade was shipped quickly and well-packaged to ensure it arrived without damage.
