Know before you buy
The symmetrical, rounded form is surprisingly ergonomic. Because it features four distinct prying surfaces, you can easily find a comfortable grip regardless of how you pick it up.
Yes, because it is crafted from solid brass, the material will develop a unique patina as it interacts with the oils from your hands and the environment. This natural aging process adds character to the piece.
While it has a solid, substantial feel due to the investment-cast brass, its compact 2.25-inch dimensions make it easy to carry. It is designed to be portable enough for camping or everyday carry without weighing you down.
The sand-blasted finish provides a matte, tactile texture that is generally easy to wipe down. Since it is a solid metal tool, a quick rinse and dry are all that is needed to keep it in good condition.
The Trophy is specifically engineered for standard pry-off beer bottle caps. It may not be compatible with twist-off caps or larger, non-standard bottle tops.
