but if you honestly require a bottle opener
get any preferred folder with corresponding lanyard hole
and attach an allloy bottle opener thingy

I feel bad recommending my method. It's fast and almost reflexive but also I guess kind of dangerous. Hold bottle with hand under just under the cap, place the back of the blade under the lip of the cap, lever it up slightly and pop!
Works best with a wide blade and a spyderhole. The danger is if you are sloppy the edge is turning toward your hand. The advantage is my beer is open and you are looking for a bottle opener.

I do almost the same thing with my BM Mini Grip, but I don't open the blade, it works
 
Safer. I'm sure part of it is the flair and the impression of danger, I'm a dork. Generally everyone just hands me their unopened beers.
 
I know this doesnt answer your question but here is what i consider a viable option. Carry whatever knife you like, and carry a bic lighter and learn how to use that to open bottles with. My logic is that if your going to carry a knife to be prepared, you might as well also carry a lighter, one of the most useful tools in existence! Now you have 3 tools on you at all times :)
-Or the SAK idea... i like the alox ones, cadet and farmer. Or the tiny little rambler/manager. If you go with the rambler or manager you get a backup knife, nail file, scissors, tweezers and toothpick/pen, + the bottle opener with a tiny phillips screwdriver on the end... all in a super tiny package.
-Orrrrrr get a very thin flat bottle opener and carry it in your wallet. I have a bud light one that i got for free at a gas station and it is just a lightweight peice of shaped sheetmetal, but opens bottles just as well as any other ive used.
-Also, i dont have one but the Buck metro also looks pretty nice. It is tiny, when you pull it out at partys "non-knife-people" wont bat an eye, and you get a small one hand opening locking knife out of the deal. And its made in USA and comes in different colors.

This Leatherman Crater has a folding carabiner that doubles as a bottle opener. I've owned this blade for a while, takes a nice mirror edge

I had to give that one up at an airport when I forgot it was in my backpack. Mine was the flipper version.

To the OP. Beker bk11 has a bottle opener. Although I find it a lot easier to just use the spine of the knife.
 
Never understood bottle openers, nearly everything around you can be used as an opener. I usually just use a lighter...I think its more an American thing having to use a bottle opener, maybe because many drink beer from a can and most domestic beers in a bottle are twist tops.
 
Victorinox Waiter. Bottle opener and corkscrew.

Few if any good beers are sold in cans. And although most of the mass-produced factory-made beers have twist tops, most of the small or regional breweries still don't. There's probably a reason for that, but I don't know what it is.

If you're going to open a lot of bottles, get one of these.

I guess it folds, if you consider that the universe folds around it.
 
The Leatherman Crater mentioned above is pretty decent. It's still a carabiner bottle opener, but it's easy to open and close one-handed. If you get one of the e-model ones, those have a 154CM blade as well. The Skeletool also has the carabiner bottle opener integrated into the handle, but if the Funxion was too big, the Skeletool might not be any better. The Sanrenmu SRM-763 has a bottle opener integrated into the blade and handle, and it is about a quarter inch larger than the Shuffle.

That bottle was empty. What happened to the beer-like substance that used to be inside? I hope no one actually drank the stuff. :eek:

Rolling Rock, right?

Pretty sure he drank it and several more like it before making the video, you can see him stumble after he swings lol
 
DPX HEST folder +1.

Actually you can use any folder or prybar to open bottle, just like use lighter.
