Know before you buy
Yes. Because the brass is left unpolished and unfinished, it will naturally develop a unique patina based on how you handle it and the environment it is exposed to. This process is intentional and adds character to the piece.
Absolutely. It is crafted from solid brass using a hand-forging process, making it exceptionally sturdy and built to withstand years of regular use.
It is designed specifically for everyday carry. Measuring just 0.5 inches wide and 2.5 inches long, it is compact enough to fit easily in a pocket or on a keychain without adding significant bulk.
No special maintenance is required. The finish is designed to evolve naturally, so you can simply use it as intended and let the patina develop on its own.
Each bottle opener is individually hand-forged in the USA. Because of this artisanal process, every piece has its own subtle variations and unique character.
