Perfect for the beer-drinker in your life. No, I'm sure there are dozens of those. This tool is ideal for someone in need of a carefully-crafted tool guaranteed to last a lifetime. Craft beer, domestic beer, imported beer, homemade beer, this tool will get the job done. On top of that, I'll custom stamp your new keychain opener with one LARGE initial, three small initials, a monogram OR an image of a hops plant (see pictures).
These churchkeys start as a single bar of steel. Using traditional hot-forging techniques, I slit and drift the end of the bar, shoulder it, forge the ring, and then cut the opener from the end of the bar. All of this while the bar is glowing a bright orange color (in the neighborhood of a couple thousand degrees.) After it's cut off the longer bar, I shape the handle, stamp whatever's going into it, and punch the little tongue which forms the operative bit to the tool. These little guys get a hole drilled in the end of their three inch handle and a key ring strung through it. After a bit of cleanup and an oil finish, the bottle opener is ready to be gifted to your friends and loved ones.
