So i just bought this...

Posted: Tuesday, March 2, 2010
..for my lady's dad's birthday. He's a man, and he likes beer.....theres no way he won't like it.

Overview:

Our Railroad Spike Bottle Openers are eye-catching, unique, and make fabulous gifts for your beer-drinking friends. Each bottle opener is hand-forged from an old railroad spike which was collected from an abandoned railroad line.

The forging process requires heating the steel spike to 2400 degrees Fahrenheit. Several custom tools were designed to create the bottle-opening claw as well as the twisted design on the handle.

Due to the hand-forging process, there will be slight variations between each opener. A thin coating of pure beeswax is added for protection and a bit of coloring.


Features & specs:

  • Dimensions: 6.25" x 1.5" x 0.75"
  • Made from reclaimed railroad spikes
  • Coal-forged by hand in the USA
  • Protective pure beeswax coating

    that shit looks smaller than the initial pics that i saw. and for the price of shipping it better be at least a hefty 2 pounds.
