Finally, I found my iconic Cool Hand Luke style bottle opener that I've had for 40 years, made in England.

Does anyone know if there are church key bottle openers that not only have both the bottle opener and the can piercer, but, an integral can opener as well, to open cans of food?

I don't know of one but the can piercer can be worked all the way around the rim to remove the lid.

This is a perfect idea, thank you!

And here is my next question: As with knives, not all bottle openers are the same. Is there a particular brand you recommend that has the piercer and the cap lifter? I saw one for under a dollar online and it says "Stainless steel". I have an older stainless steel one but it is starting to wear down. Is there a "Spyderco of Church Keys" ?

That may be the record for smallest cap lifter.

Here is an idea for the Company that might make a couple of bucks.
A titanium bottle opener that uses the "bug" to lift the cap.
The "bug" cutout would fit over the cap crosswise.
The little pincers on the nose would be lost.

This design:

Cut out of this style of flat opener.

The Company already makes two knives with bottle openers, the ClipiTool and ClipiTool Standard,
but this design should make it through the TSA.

That's elevated this thread a couple of notches.
Thank you for playing, Spydergirl88.

That one was meant to be mounted on a bench or whatever.

I could see the bead working with paracord through it to give more leverage.

I keep forgetting to post this. My bottle hook.
