I’ve been using this Nambu Tekki bottle opener for a few months now, and it’s impressively sturdy. The cast iron feels substantial, and the wrench design actually works well for gripping bottle caps. It’s a bit heavy at 18.8cm length, but that adds to its durability. While not cheap at $38, the craftsmanship from Toyama, Japan shows. Reminds me of Helen Mirren’s precision in her roles – this tool delivers consistent performance. Great for daily use.
