Know before you buy
No, this bottle opener is not dishwasher safe. Because it is crafted from carbon steel, we recommend hand washing and drying it thoroughly to prevent rust and maintain its finish.
The opener measures 4 inches in length. Its compact, pocket-sized design makes it easy to carry, ensuring it is always accessible for everyday use.
To keep your opener in top condition, wipe it dry after use and occasionally apply a light coat of food-safe oil if you notice any moisture exposure. This will help preserve the metal and protect it from oxidation.
The three-hole pattern is a signature design element inspired by Smithey’s iconic skillet handles. While it provides a distinct aesthetic and a secure grip, it also allows you to hang the opener on a hook for convenient storage.
