Brass EDC bottle opener

[matt]

I wanted a bottle opener for my keys but also thought i could save myself a bit of money and make one. As much as i love the look of atwoods this one was essentially free. Made from 4mm leftover brass from a sheet i bought ages ago for bolsters. Only took about an hour with basic tools (hacksaw, drill press and basic belt sander) I'd urge anyone wanting something similar to have a go yourselves..




It should develop a nice patina over time

Indeed very whale like. Or indeed a boxing glove perhaps.

Heavier than Ti would be but not bad, it's just had a baby too:
