This started out as just a tool for myself, but I got enough interest in it that I decided to do a run of them.
This is the first one (mine), it is .140" thick 6al4v titanium. It is 2.5" OAL. This was designed as a minimalist key chain pry tool, but also has a bottle opener as well. The first batch is at waterjet right now, I will post up pics of the final one when it is ready.
Because of its small size, I am calling it the "Aphid"
Let me know what you guys think.

I dig the finish on it. How well does the cap lifter work? The bottom tine looks a little sharp, and maybe a bit too long.
 
Thanks, this was just the proto, I made some changes to the final version.
 
Send me an email guys, I will be finishing the first batch this weekend.
 
Here is the final version all finished up.
Stonewashed or heat anodized.
