I wasn’t sure what to expect from this cast iron owl bottle opener, but it’s surprisingly well-made. The weight feels substantial in hand, and it easily opens bottles without slipping. The minimalist design reminds me of Jeff Goldblum’s effortless style – simple yet striking. At $38, it’s a bit pricey for a bottle opener, but the craftsmanship from Toyama, Japan really shows.
