The Claude Dozorme Prestige Ney champagne sabre combines a striking red handle, a guard gilded with fine gold and a long steel blade to transform every sabrage into a spectacular ceremony.
Handcrafted in Thiers, the Claude Dozorme Prestige Ney red champagne sabre draws inspiration from the ceremonial sabres carried by Napoleon’s generals. Its majestic appearance and refined finishes make it an exceptional piece for weddings, anniversaries, achievements and the most memorable celebrations.
Its generous guard, gilded with fine gold, surrounds a striking red Lamina handle. The intensity of its colour creates a remarkable contrast with the golden reflections of the guard and the brilliance of the blade, giving the sabre the presence of a genuine collector’s piece.
The decorative cavalry knot recalls the way members of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard once secured their weapons around the wrist. This historic detail reinforces the ceremonial character of the Ney model and highlights the connection between sabrage, great victories and the celebratory traditions inherited from the Empire.
Its 31 cm blade is crafted from premium X50CrMoV15 stainless steel. The intentionally unsharpened edge is designed to travel along the bottle’s seam and release the neck with a firm movement, following the traditional sabrage technique.
Measuring 48 cm in total length, the sabre includes a mahogany display stand that allows it to be presented as a genuine decorative object. More than a serving accessory, the red Prestige Ney is a remarkable gift and an enduring symbol of celebration, crafted by a French cutlery house founded in 1902.
