On behalf of Col. Applegate, I'll thrown in ONE Harsey Custom Titanium bottle opener (from the Harsey Dept. of Clandestine Operations) to the winner of this competition. Be sure the beer payment is bottled.

I can attest to the quality of this very HSLD beer opener and as usual, can post pis, if desired.
No serious gear collection would be complete without one!

I'm sure it's a very high quality opener, but please, don't post a picture of the after effects.

Talking about the opener but not showing pics is as frustrating as a fan dance!

Since you asked nicely....
With one of Mr. Reeve's Sebenza folders.
Very nice combo.

That's the latest pattern titanium opener. Note the chisel front for light prying of the shoe polish can lid or emergency screwdriver work. I haven't tried carrying one of those thru an airport yet, maybe it would be ok with a round end.

I think you credit the TSA employees with too much intelligence, and I cannot afford to have it confiscated by a former minimum wage 7-11 employee now wearing a badge.
Here it is in a native habitat. For you 10th Group guys.

TR, close, but I'd prefer the background to be a Paulaner dunkel weizen.

Guess you can go thirsty here then.
Closest I have. I am sure that you can find the Class VI Store.

Let's see, for you, my brother, I have assorted cans of Coors Light, bottles of Bud, Yuengling Light, Yuengling Black and Tan, Dundee Honey Brown, Warsteiner, and of course, Guinness.
All cold and waiting.
Got some fine whiskey here as well, if you ever get back up this way.
I think AM and Bill can vouch for the quality of the potables here.
The 10th Group guys can stop by the store on the way and get whatever exotic crap they want.

Looks like that would work well for opening cans of dip too.
I want one, Mr. Harsey. Please PM where I send my money and how much!
