This hand forged stylised skull topped bottle opener makes for a unique and functional gift.

Made from 12mm square bar. The skulls features are hand hammered into red hot steel using punches and chisels and in doing buy so it gives each one its own unique character. Check out my skull keyring listing to see the making process - step by step images as the face is formed.
The business end of the bottle opener is formed by hot punching a slot into the flattened bar. The slot is then enlarged using progressively bigger diameter drifts until the correct size is reached. It is then shaped to create the classic bottle opener style - all hand forged over the anvil. It is then protected using a hot oil finish.

All of my items are hand made to order using traditional techniques - Forge, Anvil, Hammer, Punches and variety of Chisels. The handmade nature of blacksmithing results in there being differences in the surface texture and finish between the items pictured here and subsequent pieces. This makes each one truly unique - hand forged to order and dispatched within 3 – 5 working days.

Approx. sizes are 150mm Long x 45mm Wide x 20mm deep and weighs in the region of 150g (but these vary as each is made).
