Credit Card size Carbon Fiber bottle opener

Post by lexuschris »

Hey Brewcommuners!

The folks over at Kumquat are offering a special group buy on their carbon fiber credit card sized bottle openers. With an order of at least 12, we get to $20/unit. @ 24 its $17.50. @ 48 its $15.00.

Check it out at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/22 ... zed-bottle

I think they would etch the backside with our club name too. Is anyone interested in this pricey, yet very cool & unique item, please answer the poll.

Awesome. I've seen things like this, but too many are actually too thick to comfortably hold a space in my wallet. Looking at this, I think it might be thin enough to work.

I voted that I'll take two...

What is the difference between the ones that are being offered in this group buy versus the ones for sale on Amazon? They are $17.50 on Amazon.

Only a small difference .. they will etch the club logo/name on one side.

If there is enough interest in this, we can see if they can drop the prices further... but, so far we are a very small buy. :)

It looks very cool, but not at that price.

Sorry, I agree even at 9$ I wouldn't do it. Carbon itself will last, even in my wallet, under my...seat... but I have no confidence in the pry area local to cap. Carbon is brittle and in this case I would not expect it to last.

No worries. Since we do not have a large interest as a club, everyone is on their own to pursue whatever bottle opening product they prefer. There will not be a group buy on this.
