I bought this Nambu Tekki bottle opener as a gift, and it’s stunning. The cast iron feels solid and substantial in hand, with a smooth, matte finish. At 10.5cm long, it’s compact yet sturdy enough for daily use. The crow design is beautifully detailed—definitely a conversation starter. While browsing for NBA streams later that night, I remembered seeing this unique piece and thought, ‘where to watch lakers vs san antonio spurs’ wasn’t the only thing I got right this week. Truly a forge global level of craftsmanship.
