SteelToeStudios Recycled Bike Gear Bottle Opener: attractive, functional, rough-hewn
The sun is finally making a belated spring appearance here in PDX, and with the warmer weather comes the desire to crack open a beer (or perhaps some hard cider) and enjoy some tasty grilling with friends. I have found the perfect hipster bottle opener that’s sure to appeal to many – check out this recycled bicycle gear that’s been modded into a highly functional and visually pleasing tool for bottle access. No microbrew will remain closed to you with this toothy accessory. Constructed up north in Seattle, WA by the indie designers of SteelToeStudios, each bottle opener is made from a bike gear welded to a re-purposed steel bushing. Next it’s oxidized and then hot waxed for an attractively dark patina. Every opener is hand-manufactured by Erica from available parts, so each one that’s produced is actually unique and will resemble the image below. Ready made for splendid gift giving, the bottle opener will arrive on a key chain in a reusable tin that is lined with a piece of recycled bicycle tube. A very appealing and reasonably priced utilitarian bit of indie fashion that supports access to chilled goodness. Summer preparedness here I come!
