Crow Bottle Openers

Designed by Tadahiro Baba, an expert nambu tekki (cast iron) craftsman, these minimalist bottle openers bring a modern sensibility to this traditional craft, and his charming abstract crow can stand upright, ready for use at your bar. Open your bottles with the crow's feet and hold onto it by its beak. Each cast iron opener is finished with an urushi (Japanese lacquer) coat for a rich black that helps the iron stay resistant to rust. Over time however, you may see the finish wear off to reveal a silver-brown patina underneath, which is part of its natural beauty.
