Klein Bottle Opener
For a sec there I thought I'd died and gone to hyperspace.
There are a few reading this who just chuckled for reasons other than the usual.
But I digress.
Sure, you could buy a Craftsman-handle bottle opener as featured in Wired magazine's annual holiday gift issue but why wouldn't you want something a bit more, I dunno, tool-(in the worst sense of the word)-like?
I know I would.
Fair warning: If this item does not appear in Mike Anderson's Christmas stocking, his henchwomen, led by the irrepressible @chelssmiesterr, better have a plenty good explanation why not.
Just sayin'

Michael and John, you're spot on.
I visited Bathsheba Grossman's website and was gobsmacked by her opener a little over two years ago:

I had seen it in an ad in the back pages of Scientific American.
The link above appears in the second sentence of this post — the word "reasons."
True, a bit obtuse and indirect, but I can be like that.
