TNT Champagne Opening

Ya broke the bottle?
Lol....is that normal

Please drink carefully
 
I look at the TNT 15 more as a tactical gardening tool than a tactical culinary tool...you have opened my eyes...thank you
 
I expect many, many posts here for New Years on TNT Saber Openings…..
 
Man I have always wanted to do that :)
Very cool.
 
I just need a really big rootbeer bottle LOL
 
Bravo!

TENTEXtbook technique on the opening! :cool:

You may have discovered the definitive use for the inertia generated by the TNT-- the follow-thru, so graceful, the decaptitation, so clean!

Cheers! 🥂

Yes Sir. Loosen and move up the cage on the bottle. Then find the seam on the glass. Once you do that you are good to go. Cheers Friends!

I think that a real "working" champagne sabre/saber requires a specific right-hand/left-hand grind and technique to clear the ridge on the neck. It can be done.
 
Someone finally did it!! Thank you! I wanted to try this myself, but knowing me, I would find a way to amputate all of my limbs in the process. Excellent work not doing that!

From what I’ve seen, the bottle usually breaks clean. What surprised me is that TENTEX was able to safely open it using the blade edge! :oops: I was taught to always use the spine, not the edge. Then again, my instructor’s blade wasn’t Busse tough, so….

I've done this many times and the blade was never meant to clear the ridge, but to crack it. It doesn't mess with the cork at all... It's meant to break the glass cleanly at the ridge.

If you "clear" the ridge, you'll end up swinging wide with no open bottle.... Possibly popping off someone's appendage if they're standing too close - esp. if you're using a Busse!
 

TENTEX made as clean a job as I've ever seen with this task...note how he even recoils the blade back a bit <after decaptation>.

Top shelf form even considering there was no one in the path of the blade...this man knows how to sabre.

Greater follow-through-- although more showy & dramatic-- could result in a more gory sort of decapitation! 😱

Samurai Sommelier, anyone?

Agreed! TENTEX TENTEX did as fine a job as anyone could! Made it look effortless and CLEAN!

If I were to do it with a TNT-15, I might have given you that for gore you are looking for 🤣 most likely from my own leg or arm or back... Who knows!
 
Buy Brown did it with an open spine. Top notch
