I have been searching for a classic stainless steel bottle opener that did not have any plastic in it's construction to replace the tchotchke openers that I've collected over time. I realize this item is only five bucks, but am unimpressed with the cheap stamped steel construction. The metal is pitted, and the finish on the tip of the opener chipped off almost immediately. This is a kitchen tool that is supposed to remove metal bottle caps and open metal cans. You would assume the metal that the tool is made of will be more durable then the metal bottle caps it is removing.

If you looking for a kitchen tool rather then just a cheap opener I suggest you keep looking.

Nice weight to this opener. Not super slick so holding on with wet hands is not a problem.

This is a perfect bottle opener for me.

However, I should note that it isn't the most elegant piece. In fact there are edges that aren't quite ground down. A person with delicate skin may have trouble with that.

Also, there were two large stickers on the opener. After I peeled them off I had to scrub it with rubbing alcohol to remove all the glue. It probably took me 1/2 hour to do this which is ridiculous.

But once that was done I'm left with a thick steel bottle opener which is what I wanted. If you like your kitchen tools to be strong enough to hack through 1/4 inch of cement then this one may be for you too.
