VagnbysMatt Black Champagne Sabre
R1,699
About
A modern tribute to the sabre, seamlessly merging the stainless steel blade, grip and guard. The moulded handle and the thick blade give you a perfectly balanced sabre. With a weight of 560 grams, it is unnecessary to apply much force when opening a champagne bottle.
Opening the champagne bottle with the sabre (called sabrage) is all in the technique. Find the bottle moulding line, running from the cork to the bottom of the bottle. Hold the base of the champagne bottle so that the cork points away from you. Quickly slide the sabre along the body of the bottle on the moulding line towards the cork. The force of the blade hits the lip, separating the collar of the bottle (with the cork still intact) from the rest of the bottle. This leaves the neck of the bottle open and ready for pouring.
This is a kitchen tool and not a weapon. The blade is dull.
Be aware of the flying cork and sharp glass. Make sure no person or animal stands close by when used, particularly in the path of the breaking bottle collar with the cork. The bottleneck will be sharp after opening and could be harmful. Always find and carefully dispose of the bottle collar and cork after sabrage.

Read all about it!
Just the other day, some of us in the office were talking about how far we've come in terms of technology. There are still plenty of us who remember what life was like without smartphones and GPS, having to navigate our way around town with a big ol' map book on the passenger seat, having spent a good chunk of time writing down the directions.
The same schlep could be said about simply ordering a pizza - you had to do it over the phone, and man you'd be bummed if they misheard "avocado" and added "anchovies".
It only makes sense, then, that the simple pleasure of reading would find its way into the 21st century. Sure, there is a classic nostalgia to enjoying a well-read book, but have you ever tried carting a copy of War & Peace with you on holiday? That thing could see you charged for extra baggage! Lose the weight and ease the nostalgia and check out our main deal, a Kindle. It just makes sense.
