"Méthode Champenoise"

[Chui]

While on hols in France, stumbled upon a lovely coutelier in St Paul de Vence, and there spied this wee fella which ended up coming home with me...

- and the missus always tries to steal the show...

Glad to see this thread resurface. Thanks everyone. Nice old waiter's friend Adrian. Beautiful knife Chui. Jolipapa, I liked your story about Napoleon.

Jack, that is an great knife. I'll renew my efforts to find something on that stamp.

This is a very recent addition to my collection. The scales are buffalo horn. Unfortunately, no maker's mark.

Thank you my friend, that is very kind of you, and much appreciated :thumbup: Your new addition is very interesting :thumbup:

I spotted a Champagne Knife in an antiques shop in North Yorkshire recently, but on closer inspection it had no springs. I explained this to the proprietor, and as I was leaving, he thanked me saying that he would "look out for a couple of new springs"!

Jolipapa, that's a waiter's friend style opener that is stunning! My father used to have a very nice one, as he went to wine and food shows for work, but it's been lost.

I've noticed a lack of champagne sabering, so here's the best video showing the how and why of the most extravagant way to open a bottle with a blade.

Thanks very much for your comment Jake. Beautiful knife Gevonovich.

A good quality knife advertising Leon Chandon Champagne but no maker's mark.

That's certainly a quality knife isn't it S-K, very nice indeed? :thumbup:
