Know before you buy
Nambu Tekki is a centuries-old Japanese tradition of iron casting originating from the Iwate Prefecture. It is renowned for producing exceptionally durable, high-quality ironware that is both functional and aesthetically refined.
The opener is finished with an urushi lacquer glaze, which acts as a protective barrier against rust. Simply wipe it clean with a dry cloth after use and avoid soaking it in water to maintain the integrity of the finish.
Yes, because it is crafted from solid cast iron, it has a substantial, weighted feel. It is designed to be durable and provides excellent leverage for opening standard beer and soda bottles.
