Time and again, Japanese designers have proved that they can take the most mundane objects and transform them, not only completely changing the appearance but also improving the functionality far beyond what we are used to. And what's more, they manage to squeeze in some of their traditional values like centuries-old craftsmanship. The Futagami Crescent Moon Bottle Opener is one more of these items: just by looking at it, you won't realize what it is but after using it once, it'll become your favorite cap opener!
The tradition part comes from the history of its maker: established in 1897, Futagami is a maker of bronze Buddhist altar fittings and has harnessed all its ingenuity and know-how to create the Futagami Crescent Moon Bottle Opener. With a perfect crescent moon shape, this 65 x 10 mm (2.6 x 0.4") object will fool anyone into believing it is only meant for decoration purposes, but its ends are actually perfect for catching under the cap's edge and pulling it off with amazing ease. A joy to look at and use, this will become the center of your home bar and make all your friends want to try it!
