Let's See Your Favorite Bottle Opener(s)

Your set up looks less like a collection of bottle openers and more like the trade tools
of a medieval executioner.

 

Probably my fave.

 

This one:



... and this one (same long lost talented BA friend / Artisan as yours @beergoot):

 

The green one is the Sieger opener for pots/jars, cans and bottles with caps of all kinds . It used to be once helpful to my grandparents. No idea when they got it, but i guess it might be from first half last century, probably pre-wwII. It is still in use today. And performing even better than the more modern variation from Gefu, bought about 10 years ago. Westmark coppied this design as well and sells it referring to Sieger as the Sieger Twist:

The small point is there for stubborn jar lids or opening cans.
Maybe not the most pretty, but really useful and solid tool.

 

thanks, i'm grabbing the images off good drive and i'm wondering if maybe it's because they aren't public.

 

Leave this one outside. Pretty cool rust & coloration.

 

I almost forgot about this one, a while back Sam Calagione from Dogfish Head did meet and greets at my beverage center and a few bars in the area. I talked with Sam, shared a beer and he gave me the opener. I keep it in my travel cooler

 

@Todd (HINT, HINT) great idea for a BA Challenge Coin.

And here are my entries. The “dog” has serious heft to it, and the Kebo is a one handed opener. I don’t really use them, but they are favorites.

 

I see what you did there.

 

A BeerAdvocate Challenge Coin bottle opener. Let me think about that for a nanosecond...



@Todd

 

Here's one a friend made from a railroad spike.




Not the nicest looking, but it works!

 

Did you make this? I love the Calder-esque design.

 

@Victory_Sabre1973 uses a brass version
