What is Sabrage?
Sabrage is the centuries-old art of opening a champagne bottle with a sword, a practice that dates back to the era of Napoleon’s cavalry. More than just a dramatic display, sabrage is a symbol of prestige, celebration, and impeccable craftsmanship. The technique involves striking the bottle’s neck with precision, causing the cork and glass collar to separate cleanly in one swift motion.
At Tomahawk, a premier steak restaurant in Singapore, this ritual enhances every special occasion. Pair the thrill of sabrage with a perfectly grilled wagyu beef steak for a truly unforgettable dining experience.

Frequently Asked Question
What is sabrage?
Sabrage is the ancient art of opening a bottle of champagne with a saber (a large sword-like blade). The saber strikes along the seam of the bottle, removing the top of the neck along with the cork, creating a memorable “pop” that signifies celebration.
Why does Tomahawk perform sabrage?
Tomahawk performs sabrage to elevate the dining experience. This interactive, dramatic presentation is perfect for special occasions like birthdays, anniversaries, or milestone events. It adds flair, prestige, and excitement to every celebration.
Is sabrage safe?
Yes, when performed correctly, sabrage is completely safe. The bottle is pre-chilled to manage internal pressure, and the saber strike follows a precise technique along the bottle’s seam. Our team at Tomahawk is trained to execute the process flawlessly, ensuring your safety while providing a thrilling spectacle.
Can every bottle of champagne be opened this way?
Not all bottles are suitable for sabrage. The champagne bottle must be made of thick, high-quality glass. Bottles with thinner glass may break instead of producing a clean cut. Rest assured, our team will select the perfect bottle to guarantee a smooth and seamless sabrage experience.
