What's everyone's thoughts on this one? I like a knife with a bottle opener. Of course I like bottled beers and cokes. I might need one of these.

The 15 is one of my favorite patterns. I usually like one bladed knives because I don't often find myself needing a secondary blade but I often find myself in need of a bottle opener. I'll be grabbing one in ebony fosho. I think this will be close to perfect for me. Make it with a sheepsfoot and EO, then it'd be perfect!
 
Looks interesting. I could go for an ebony wood handled version with a bottle opener. I like to get my sip on :D
 
Say the bottle opener wears out over time/use, would there be a way to fix it? How long/how much use would it take to wear down?
 
I almost never need a bottle opener on a pocket knife. I've already got a #15 pattern that I like so I won't be adding one of these. Nice looking knives all the same.
 
The Jig Bone Sure is Nice - Very Useful Knife
Looks like a roadtrip to check out the factory showroom.
 
I really like the bare end 15s and that ebony looks great but I don't find myself in need of a caplifter enough to convince myself I'd use this one. I have a leatherman squirt on my keychain that cover all of the random small multitool needs.

I might not have looked hard enough but can someone tell me why its a radio knife? Is this the knife you have after work when you sit down to listen to the radio and drink a cold beverage?
 
I am thinking that it is a radio knife because of the longish screwdriver that would have come in handy for a kid working on his shortwave radio or a tube radio from back in the days when people worked on their own radios. I am just guessing though because this is not a pattern that I am familiar with. I think it would be a very handy pattern though. The screwdriver/bottle opener is the most used blades on my scout knives.

Gonna pass on this one as I'm not likely going to break the habit of using my lighter to pop caps.

That's what I've been doing lately but hate how the bottom of the bics get frayed after a couple times. And just gives me another excuse to buy/use this one!
 
JerryIsAlive and Old & In The Way, you two know each other? Just how many deadheads do we have on this thing? Count me in as one. And ummm... Knife talk.... I didn't think hippies were so forward thinking as to get something to open their beers ahead of time.... ;)
