Beautiful picture and knife Gevonovich but I am confused. I must not have a prestigious enough upbringing because I always just pop it open with my hand and let it fly
It would be dangerous to use the knife to open Champagne as we know it. I was playing on words. I believe the knife got its name from the Champagne Valley of France and is designed to open a regular bottle of wine. There is quite the controversy using the name Champagne. In Europe the name is used for wines grown in that region.

This is an old champagne tool circa 1850. I have quite a few different champagne openers etc if you'd like to see them.
