Has anybody ever asked you to put a bottle opener on a knife? I am not sure if that would be a good idea or not. Would it be on the bootom of the tang or where a gut hook would go. Please post some pics if you have made one. The reason I ask is a buddy from work wants me to make him one but with a bottle opener. I told him I would think about it. Thanks.

The only two spots that I could think of to have a bottle opener on a knife would be to make a knife like a gut hook, but instead of the hook piece, have that the bottle opener, or have it at the very back of the knife.
 
Fellow that goes by the handle tippit made one he called 'beer butt'. maybe he'll be along and post a pic of it.
 
It has pretty much been said. But I think if I decided to tackle one I would put a thump ramp on it and put it under the thumb ramp. My $0.02.
 
A bit different but this is a friction folder that has a bottle opener/screwdriver added.

The famous Becker Necker has one. I've never used the one on mine, but if I'm ever lost and come across a frosty, non-twist-off bottle of beer, I'll be glad it's there. :D

Honestly, I think they're a touch gimmicky but hey, the customer is always right. If that's what they want, grind one in there. Your idea to put it where a gut-hook would be is kind of cool. The one in BikerMike's folder is pretty neat, too.
 
I'm making one for a neck knife build-off...it's off being HT now.....

Plus I just slapped some cocobolo on this CRKT Dogfish...kinda cute, no??

There was some discussion of this on the Chris Reeve forum and you can open a beer bottle with a Sebenza without any modification. Tried it , works fine !!

The end of that tang looks like a dude that's just seen a major jaw-dropping event.
 
Here is a few to consider:

In any case, I think it would be a bad idea to put it near the choil, or where the choil would be if your knife were to have one. Just imagine:

- left hand grabs bottle
- right hand places knife, edge down, with the opener hook on the cap
- lifts handle to open bottle
- edge comes shooting at your knuckles at high speed.....

If you know how to open a bottle with a lighter, you can open a bottle with te spine of every knife.
