Forged this today to give to a buddy for his bachelor party this weekend. Could be a little more symmetrical but it opens bottles real nicely!

 It looks good to me. Don't worry, the more beers it opens the more symmetrical it'll become.

Looks better than my first, what do you think Frosty? I see you lurking around.

I type to dang slow!

Greetings Teebs,

 

Don't take much to open up the Frosty one...   Super nice for your first one..   For practice on the next one Taper the center to about 3/8 square and give it a twist...  Then form the end..

 

Forge on and make beautiful things

Keep up the good work

 

Jim

Frosty, you have a good point! They make good gifts, and it seems that bottles that are not twist off are making a come back. Especially in the smaller "craft" beers.

Jim, thanks, I was thinking about putting a twist in the handle, never thought to taper it down a bit. Will try that on the next one.

Looks like a great first bottle opener. You did a great job.

Today I made another bottle opener, this time I used half a farrier rasp. I should have used one of the crappy case hardened ones, this was a good high carbon steel rasp and takes a little more effort to move!

I like that one it reminds me of a cobra. Good job.

Mr. Teebs: I've got a comment on your second opener but I'm going to file it till Charles has time to type his reply.

Another great bottle opener, and I agree looks very snake like.

Thanks guys, and Frosty, I look forward to your comments, positive or negative!

Amazing job on both!  Glad to see someone from Ontario too ;-)

I'm just a little bit south of you :-).
