'Brewtus' suggestion is a good one. As I already have a 'Brewtal' bottle opener on the market...

Next will be the 'Brewdini'... has a handcuff key hidden away... lmao.

J/k with that last one. Feel free to steal it.

Keep em comin. I'll keep checking even after it slows. Six days to go but some great names so far. At the end of the 'contest' and the give away I'm going to post a few of them on the exchange. Priced accordingly for my test monkeys to try out for a bit. Each one of these (at least for now) will be individually manually milled and hand finished. Planning on a few in Ti (5-10) to start. Then adding copper, brass, and steel (damascus and stainless) to follow. No aluminum at this time for this one. I like things when they are special in some limited way. Peter Atwood has it nailed!!

Cheers.

I'm gonna sweeten the pot.

Winner will get a 'Brewtal' version 2.0. It is yet to come out. But if you dig through my stuff you'll see version 1.1... 2.0 is the same basic shape but thicker all around. It also has an opener shape closer to the shape of this little thing.

Version 2.0 will drop about the time this thread will end.

Good luck!

How about "Got Wood". If this goes viral and you sell millions do I get a cut?

If this thing makes millions not only will I give the name winner a cut, I'll eat my shirt. With no salt or pepper... ;)

Dude, my nickname is 'Murphy' for a reason. Nothing I ever make/do/see/touch/talk to/look at/buy or invest in will ever make a million bucks... lol.

Well, the key to good product placement and identification is to have a name that associates a purpose or process.

Since this clever device will probably at least in part be marketed to the knife guys, why not stay with that theme? Since it opener of bottles (like a nail nick opens a knife), and is excellent for opening cans (thereby saving a nail or three) like a nail nick, how about "nail nick" or some variant to get the ball rolling?

After all, it looks like you could use the can tab opener (not kidding here) on some of those GEC nail breakers that are out there by the hundreds, and anything else like that you didn't want to break a nail on. It looks like it would work well on some of the tinned spices I buy like my Coleman't mustard that requires I go to the garage for a screwdriver to pry the metal pressed lid up. This could work as a tiny prying device to open small cans of paint, the cocoa powder in the pantry, and on an on. Anything that looks like you should be able to pry open with your fingernail, but it is just a little to hard to do so.

If it was marketed outside the knife world, I still think "The Nail Nick" would be catchy enough to work and still get the message across, and no doubt future users or your device would find their own uses for it if the name was inviting enough for them to look at product. Using a name that associated it with beer, a bottle or can opener, or a swat team would probably limit the appeal of the product.

If I was going for folks outside of the knife and tool market (say marketing it as a handy tool for a lady friend) I wouldn't use a name too macho that would shut out your female audience (like "beer nut", "it's about the size of a nut but can open any beer, so get one for your beer nut"), or an acronym that only those "in the know" would understand.

I'm feeling this vibe... Like the '11th nail' or something. It's obvious it's a bottle opener, but it is also designed to be another fingernail so...

Nail knick sounds so specific to us. I don't know that anyone outside of knifeland would know what that alludes to. But close, very close. Wife likes that theme.

No limit on entries either. If you have 50 good names I want to hear em all. Obviously keep your good ones for your projects guys. Don't want someone to sell out their good product name for my sake...
