Crafted in Takaoka, Japan, the Cast Iron Bottle Opener’s simple shape and material is enhanced by the playful disconnect between its form and function.  The black color is the result of Japanese lacquer glaze called urushi which prevents rust. Complete your toolbox with the Cast Iron Hammer Opener. 

Takaoka has been known for its iron and copper work since the early 17th century. Metal workers from other cities were invited to Takaoka to create religious objects for Buddhist temples, but the skills and traditions have endured long after the secularization of the town.
