  • @lucasmatiasdelaguilamacdon7798

    I’ve never broken a bottle in my life when performing sabrage, but I do collect swords and have to say, Alton is quite an expert if he can pull it out with that specific sabre. The one he has is a 1822/1840 Cavalry Sabre, a very heavy and long sabre. Often known as the “wristbreaker” for how heavy it was. Placing such heavy blade over the bottle and then attempting to open it with it is quite a challenge. For beginners I recommend briquet sabres, spadroons, or other thin and light blade sabres.

    And since watching this video, I can confirm it's also very easy to do with a cleaver and a Belgian-style beer bottle.

      If it's not from the Champagne region, and not produced and bottled in accordance with the Comité Interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne, then it is NOT Champagne.
      No one disputes that California is one of the world's great wine producing regions. If they don't want some Belarusian company mixing moonshine with Hawaiian Punch and selling it as Napa Cabernet, then they shouldn't be labelling $10 California bubbly 'Champagne'.

  • @lucasmatiasdelaguilamacdon7798

    I’ve performed this in several occations and it’s quite interesting he managed to pull it out with that one sword. I can tell it’s a 1840 patter Cavalry Sabre (for the US) or the 1822 for the French Army.
    Union soldiers used it during the civil war, where it was known as “wristbreaker” because of it’s weight. Most cavalry sabres I’ve used for Sabrage, from stirrup and light cavalry to hangers, have a weight of arround 700 grams. The US pattern 1840 used here is about 1100 grams. It’s quite tricky to do it properly with heavy blades. So I’d recommend first try using an infantry hanger or shorter blade, then you can move on to longer ones like the 1796 Light Cavalry or the 1852 Prussian Cavalry. Don’t go straight for the heavy stuff like the 1840 or the heavy cavalry 1860 or Cuirassier blades. Those require a lot of control and practice.

      You also seem to be implying that a person must have a degree in order to be a scientist. What kind of elitist bullshit is that? The last time I checked, real-world experience matters more than mere credentials, so if you _do_ science, then you _are_ a scientist.

    @lucasdelaguila1202 Před 6 lety

    Thank you for this tutorial, and if I may add, I must say I recommend to use a Briquet or Infantry hanger, as they are shorter than cavalry sabres, this will allow you to have better control over the blade as you perform the sabrage, plus they are lighter than most cavalry sabres, which will give you more security when you position it against the bottle, making sure you wont brake it.

      It's fine, the pressure inside the bottle blows all the shards outwards. I'd be more worried about standing downwind.

    Forget Champagne, i do that on a beer bottle regularly. A kitchen knife usually suffices. If I just want the cap only to go pop, an old CD does the trick. It's always a kicker when you finally learn to do it right.

      If you're doing it the way the video does, it seems impossible to lose a finger. More likely you'd just break the champagne bottle.

I don't know that you will ever actually see this comment (I figure PR does most of these things for you) but I must say, your show, is without a doubt my favorite show. Sadly, it rarely comes on Food Network anymore, however, the cooking channel picked it up and thanks to DVR I can watch your show anytime I want, isn't technology grand?! I have learned so much from you over the years, and I must tell you thank you! I even have my girls (ages 7,8,&9) watching you now! Their favorite episode is Dill-icious! Mine however is, well, all of them! Thank you so much sir for all the laughs and learning through the years!
