SOLD OUT!
Thank you to all who ordered!
***I have added finishes. A hammered forced patina finish. See last post by me for details.
Well, I was asked for a little material variety. Here is the first run of the brass two fingered 'Face Opener' bottle opener and Undercover Personal Protection Device (UCPPD). These have a little more love and attention in them. The corners are well rounded over, still providing enough support on the finger to remain comfortable but just a little more rounded over. Everything else is the same as the aluminum version. Chamfered keyring holes, and still opens a bottle like nobody's business. And hefty enough to be a good paperweight or to add a little mass to a right cross.
Pardon the scratches here and there, this is my personal one and rides on my keys daily. They will pick up some scratches as they are brass and as such a bit softer. But I brush and tumble each one to start it off with a gently worn look.
Here it is on a keyring with keys. I use the stainless s-biner from Nite-Ize just to separate it a bit and make it easy to unhook. I can add one to an order if they aren't readily available where you live, just ask and add $1. Dimensions are the same as the aluminum. Holes are just over 1" which I find fits most people, even some with gloves on... The load of the impact is born by the heel of the hand, making these actually quite comfortable considering what they are...
Here by its self.
On the hand inside and out.
And opening a bottle... I have pointed out to bartenders that this can be worn fairly unobtrusively and pop bottle tops in a hurry while still being at the ready as it were...
Pardon the knocked about hands. Comes with the work.
I have 20 this go around. Unfortunately materials cost for this are quadruple the aluminum, and there is a bit more labor and some other small considerations. So I can't offer them quite as low as the aluminum though I'd truly like to.
Offering on BF only..
That's $35 (SOLD OUT) shipped to any address in North America or APO etc boxes. Will be by USPS priority mail service. Same price for the hammered finish I offer now...
Stainless S-biner included. Either black or brushed, at random. No split rings with these, my supplier is momentarily down for the stainless split rings...
Please order by emailing me at E.Lucy@gmx.com with a quantity and either use your Paypal email addy or tell me what it is. I will send an invoice to you. Once paid, they will ship within 48hrs. (My day job cuts into my packing and shipping schedule...) Most arrive within 3 days, but have seen as long as 10 business days out of the USPS. Foreign orders are welcome, just contact me first to establish pricing, etc.
Thanks again for all the support from the members here, and y'all's input on everything.
