That's how I open everything, except, instead of a dinky little sabre, I use a 15th century highland claymore that I carry strapped to my back.

Actually my dad use to do that all the time when I was a kid. Worked every single time. The trick is to keep the blade flat to the bottle.

Is it perhaps the same claymore that this kid (http://forums.army.ca/forums/threads/42660/post-372678.html#msg372678) wants to use to throw at the enemy forces a la WWII British commando style?

Indeed, a great idea he has there.

There was a French exchange officer at the Armd School in the mid '70's who used to regale the OCdt's in the Mess with this trick.

I saw an episode of 'Thirsty Traveller' on the Food Network where he went to France and they showed him how to do this.  It was very neat.
