[a bottle is a bottle...]
no, no, no .........
There are bottles and bottles. As there are different wines.

I guess you have never tasted a 1957 Port Wine, for instance .....
You would never even think of "opening" it with a Kukry .... you would get pieces of glass in the wine. And you would have to discard the bottle, a true scandal !!!!! <img src="images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
Now, a bottle of champagne, being under pressure, is easy to "cut" open : simply slide the back of the kukry blade along the neck of the bottle and hit the bulge at the top, just below the cork.
That's a classy way to open a champagne bottle ! <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
