Let's talk traditional knives that have a bottle opener blade.....

I got this little fella a few weeks ago. It is a Colonel Coon Scout. At 3 1/4 inches, it is very pocket friendly. Best I have found so far. Wish I could find one of those GEC forum knives. That thing is sweet.

That almost looks like the old lady-leg pattern. I bet you could modify one of those to where the foot & heel served as a cap-lifter.

Still looking. For ideas. I'm leaning to an alox pioneer or bantam, but would love to find something with bone or wood covers and half the blades of a kamp king.

buck makes one called a 'metro knife' that has a very small locking blade in a bottle opener. my buddy has one, shown in the middle;

i find it hard to use, though, and usually open my beer with a disposable lighter. lol

Victorinox Bantam, alox Pioneer, or Rambler... :thumbup:

Vic Pioneer and Rambler

Or perhaps the Tinker!

I think the GEC easy open is awesome. Theres actually a mod you can do to make it work better; also, have you ever given thought to using a blade with a "long pull" to open your caps? Its a good alternative to keep a knife more compact, just my two cents.

Can you explain further about a knife with a long pull?

There are all kind of choices. Those that have been posted plus these. The first is a Camillus made Camco Mumbly Peg. Not all that common but a great carry knife. The second is a Syracuse (also Camillus made). Again, not all that common but not overly expensive when you find one.

There are other little single blade knives with a cap lifter built into the tang that don't cost a fortune. What I had in mind would be something similar to the third knife.

Search on 'bottle opener knife' on eBay and there are about a thousand or more listings. There's no way to know what you had in mind but you should be able to find something that suites your fancy with that many choices.

I have been on ebay quite a bit. Just haven't found the right one. I like that mumbly peg.

I like that mumbly peg.

:thumbup:

I especially like its name!

I've been using SAK's to open bottles for a long time, but nothing beats my Boker for looking classy while doing it

Similar to the others posted, though it is a bit thicker. For a thin, really pocket friendly tool I like my Wenger SI, though I don't have a pic, it's similar to the Vic Pioneer.

I love that Camco Mumbly Peg too, that brings back memories

Thanks all. I feel fortunate to have the Mumbly Peg, especially in that condition.

The Boker just has too much going on for me.
