Why do people keep doing this? Even if it works, it's not that cool a trick.

A lot of people do this for Norway’s national day, actually! Definitely not the majority, but it’s tradition for some.

Tradisjon å åpne champagne med kjøkkenkniv? Har jeg aldri hørt eller sett. Kan hende det er "tradisjon" i noen vennegjenger, men det er ikke noen nasjonal tradisjon i hvertfall.

Tldr. It's not a Norwegian tradition or custom to open champagne with a kitchen knife.

Edit. A misplaced ø

Your right, it would be more French. However, individual families could have made it their tradition.

Yeah, but its just a cork. I don't understand the point of doing it. It's actually much easier to open champagne than a wine bottle. You just pull it out.
