I was thinking about the old beverage can pull tops that came completely off. Some people even collected them, though I don't know why. Well, you could hook them together and make a chain of some sort and use them as cheap decorations. That was a perfect way to show how classy they were. Kind of like displaying old whiskey bottles as pieces of art.

Anyway, getting back on track, then I recalled the really ancient when cans didn't have a pull tap and a person needed a church key to get in. The trick was to make a big hole on one side of the cans top and a smaller hole on the other side. For beer enthusiast a hole on the bottom was sometimes made.

“Hi i ordered the greatest bottle opener ever from you about three years ago and opened literally thousands of bottles with it. Unfortunately i've lost it about a month ago, but i do have a photograph of it.” -- Daniel C.

I love when I get an email from a customer, even if’s to let me know they lost their bottle opener.  Daniel did a great job with the photo of his EDC and I’m honored that he’d send me such a nice email.  I struggle hard to make each piece as good as I can, so you can imagine how thrilled I was to know he’d opened thousands of beers with his opener.  Getting my opener into the hands of a professional bartender so he could use it day after day.... that’s a solid testimonial, if I do say so myself!

Finally, after years of sitting here waiting for someone to love her and take her home..... she’s now on her way to Boulder Colorado!
