Champagne is meant to be savored--and occasionally sabered. Rooted in 19th century French tradition, the elegantly curved champagne saber slashes through bottles with ease. Material: Stainless steel, wood. Disclaimer: Keep saber out of reach of children and always use as directed. The form is intended to support the drink as well as the setting, balancing practical handling with a clean presentation on the bar or table. Use the stated care instructions to protect the finish and clarity, and store the piece where rims, edges, and decorative surfaces will not be knocked against heavier tools.

Before the first use, wash away packing residue with the method recommended by the maker and inspect the piece for any material-specific temperature or dishwasher limitations. For service, give each item enough space to be handled comfortably; good placement reduces spills and lets the proportions, weight, and finish do their intended work. Taste the wine as it opens and let its balance determine the final service approach.
