Second Riddle of the Hest: the Bottle Opener

scotsmanspride said:
Well after careful review i see someone already use what i came up with. I would use it in a spear and wrap between it and the wire breaker to strengthen a spear. Also something that comes to mind is Getting at small bone, bone marrow. Just place said bone in slot and twist. Also could have coating taken off and edge sharpened in that area as a spot for fire starting. Also I have not held one before but being a paramedic it looks very close to the size you would use to open an O2 cylinder.

LOL !
Do you think a survival multitool need a bottle opener when you can do it with your teeth of the angle of a concrete brick ?
This is not the main tool I use in a multitool so it might be a reason: creativity !
You can lash a string in it.... I saw somewhere from RYP it could turn the HEST into an axe...

I have tested the opener once and it was on sparkling water !
I told you there is no corckscrew in that tool !!!

Don't forget a lighter, a piece of paper, or you could carve a bottle opener from wood with the hest ;)

:D:D
 
May sound kinda dumb since you would have probably been searched at this point but it would be a good place to keep the knife still while trying to cut through restrains i.e. rope and no this is not a naughty type of restraints. I don't own a H.E.S.T or there would be pictures as requested..

I knew my good belgium friends would love that bottle opener duddah and even carve a second one in wood ! ;-)
Podferdum ! Best beers in the world are brewed in Belgium.
 
I have as the matter of fact. And I would take many Canadian microbrewed beers over any of Belgian any day :).

No offence intended, but we just have better beers here.

Edited: football is very different story...
 
Not a Belgian beer, as far as I know, a "Belgian style wheat beer." Blue Moon, which to me, tastes just like Pabst Blue Ribbon. A friend brought some over months ago and we had one in the back of the refrigerator, next to the last Pabst. :D

Go ahead, try to take the beer.

LOL ! Great explicit picture !!

(The more I see that HEST the more I think it screams for convexing but this is another subject...)

Certainly I imagine a beer bottle opener would be a little redundant in France. Fine wines and spirits yes, but beer?? Ive tasted French beer and it resembles sweat.;);)

Nice Pint of Adnams Bitter (Opened with my HEST) and a spot of Roast beef will do me nicely:o:cool:

Beer is not exactly a rocket science. If you draw a taste diagram of a beer you will have three main axis - yest, barley and hops. The more "mainstream" beer, the more rounded the taste diagram is (so many people sort of "not dislike it"). Big manufacturers can not afford to have a lot of taste in their product or they will go out of business.

Microbrewers, however occupying much smaller niche have "spikes" in the taste of their beers. The more selection you have the more chances for you to find something you will "love". That is comparing to a mainstream bear which is "ok, I guess".

Also of course you can add crap to your beers - like honey or syrup, you can ferment it on the top of a tank or at the bottom of it. Some even do fermentation right in a bottle (French famous for that, we have those in Quebec). You can do wheat beer (I think Germans came up with that, but not sure) and so on. But the basics are the same.. :)

So huge selection of beers in Belgium really just gives you an opportunity to find your beer. It does not mean that you can not find it anywhere else for that matter - in France or in Canada. The key word here is not the name of the country, but rather "micro-brewery". :)

Hold bottle neck with one hand. Put the flat of your knife lying on the side of your hand with the spine under the cap...twist with your hand holding the handle and done. Bottle openers on any knife are a gimmick.

Well that might be true, I never really considered my knife blade a bottle opener. I kind of like having that feature on all my SAKs and I like it on the HEST. Need it? Nah. Like it, Yah.
 
Yes, I agree. A proper survival knife needs a bottle opener. Mmmm. Banana Bread Beer.

I'm glad there is finally a knife that can dedicate itself to opening my 40s and extreme cutting tasks.
