I received one of the stag GEC bottle openers today and it is definitely a keeper.
Really nice deepline stag and an extremely well-made product.
Solid, attractive, and functional!
I love it!
There are still plenty of bottles out there that don't have screw-off caps, especially imported beers and those wonderful 8oz. Cokes.

I tried to get a price from them but I had to register. I did that but the password they gave me was unbelievable. I could not get it to work. It was something like this eE1736ElLe&lB. I couldn't get it to work. TO MANY GEEKS!!

Thanks for the heads up on "Old Hundred."
I haven't checked his store for a while and as a result of your
message here I did some shopping and bought this toothpick:

This my not be a real popular post, but I gotta say it …
I am more than a little disappointed at the price point GEC brought these bottle openers out at.
You fellas know I'm not shy about ponyin' up for a good knife, but I just can't see the justification for chargin' that much for a bottle opener. Stag or not ...
Just my .02 …

When I went,to Old Hundreds'site to check out the price,I noticed that he referred to them, being called church keys,when he was a kid************** I always,remembered the "'Church Keys"", like below,that the beer company's gave away,as advertising
And yes Edge______that's to rich,for my blood too !!!!!!!!!! But, the steak knives,are what,really blowed my mind

Sorta,reminds me of another story
___back in 1989, I helped the owner,open,a brand new "'Western Auto"' store**__with the franchise,stores,they shipped,all stores, a pre-set inventory___you took it all,and, could return,some (slowly--very slowly) to them,that did not sell,in your area. Well, there was a dozen of the old, oil can,punch type openers,with the pour spout_________we got 400 cases of oil_________ all,in plastic twist off bottles
______oil had not been in cans,since the early eightys
