Champagne Sabers (with a personal reccomendation) - Berserker discount

ToddFrench · May 24, 2011, 11:37pm

I ordered a Champagne saber from this company as a gift (I know that any good butcher knife works, but not as a gift!), and had fantastic service. I called him around 1pm Pacific, and he was still able to overnight it to me and it arrived by 10 a.m.

I got us some special pricing, but it’s not a HUGE discount - 5% off the regular price - still, his service is good enough that I’d recommend him either way. I had him setup a separate page for us with our own pricing, if you are interested.

Those are very pretty!

I got the ‘Classic wood handle’ model - it’s a pretty sweet way to open a bottle of bubbles. You, of all people, should invest in one with your newfound excellence in sabering

My butcher knife was perfect…Diane did a Bryan Flannnery on the bottle the night after Saxfest.

Meaning it was perfect.

Post Bernie I will be looking for lots of ways to treat myself, and that is certainly a cool and useless accessory I would like to have someday! BTW, Jeb Dunnuck was over the other night and brought some 2002 Dom. I had half a notion to do the sucker in then and there on my deck with a cleaver, but I decided I should practice more first on cheaper stuff…

Good plan, plus, it’s a nice conversation piece to have sitting out for people to ask about - gives you an excuse to use it!

‘Wait, what? You’ve never sabered a bottle of Champagne??’

Steve, it worked just fine, but a rusty meat cleaver makes a low grade gift, plus, I was quite pleased with how cleanly this saber worked - I sabered the first bottle with it as part of the gift. Incredibly clean results.

Doesn’t the rust add flavor to the champagne?

Yes, a clear note of iron

Sounds pretty awesome too. Well done stud with the clean use first try!

The right tool for the job, I guess.

After watching you and Diane do it, and receiving lots of tips from the experts at BerserkerFest Seattle, I knew how to get 'er done.

Ken_V · May 25, 2011, 1:08am

So Todd, that’s what you use when you whack off your cork?

ToddFrench · May 25, 2011, 2:33am

Someone who has people show up to offlines…

Bill_Tex_Landreth · May 25, 2011, 2:39am

Cold Steel has some awesome blades.

Benjamin_Sullivan_DNA · May 25, 2011, 2:44am

This looks like the Tanto to me. I own this knife.

Diane_Elam · May 25, 2011, 2:57am

so, i have to show my work and credit my expert teacher, ray, who honestly taught me everything i know:

Diane_Elam · May 25, 2011, 3:02am

and i did it with a little meat cleaver, folks

Anthony_Hall · May 25, 2011, 3:45am

Does the deal come with a free visit to one of our Beserker plastic surgeons ?

ToddFrench · May 25, 2011, 4:01am

I almost needed one after Diane sabered her bottle…my eye was in the way
