It's a bottle opener. It works. It looks nice.There isn't a whole lot to this product. It does open bottles, although it has a tendency to slip off the bottle cap a bit more than other openers. A good product for occasional bottle-opening, but probably not the best for bartenders & servers who may use it frequently.
Looks super slick, but works just okI got this opener as a gift and I really love the way it looks. Its smooth, sleek and feels great in the hand. However, the gap in the middle means very little contact is made with the bottle cap. The first few times I used it, it slipped. With a little focus, and not too many bottles under the belt, it can work every time. But I am worried about scratching it with slipping, so i am hesitant to use it everyday, because I want it to be nice when guests come over. I give it 4 stars instead 3 because when people come over, this will be the opener I put out. It looks that good.
On second thought, I also give it a 4 because it's made in Germany, and I don't drink German beer, so the bottle cap fit might just be a nationality thing.
Beautiful and easy to useI bought this as a little surprise gift for my husband, and he loves it. The lines are so clean and modern and lovely, and the heft is really nice. Other reviewers had complained about it not being quite the right size to open American beer bottles, but we really haven't seen that problem at all -- it's worked fine to open several different varieties (from local microbrew to Bud) with ease. It also doesn't seem to be scratched up like other reviewers said -- we've been using ours plenty (and not just saving it for guests -- beautiful things should be ENJOYED!) and it still looks great. This is an awesome dude gift idea, IMO, or a host gift for a party given by people with clean, modern taste.
