Founded in Portland, Oregon, in 2012, The James Brand has quickly established itself as one of the go-to names in everyday carry thanks largely to its catalog of gorgeously designed, durable and (most importantly) useful tools. While the brand's offerings span everything from bladed tools to multi-tools to pens, there was one glaring gap: TJB had never built a bottle opener ... until now. The problem is, there's one major catch if you want to get one.
The Bottle Opener Design Is Impeccable
This bottle opener's minimalist styling is unmistakeably TJB — you could practically spot it from across the room. Of course, sleek lines are only one half of the equation and matter little if the rest of the product can't hold up. Luckily, The James Brand machined this EDC accessory from a solid slab of billet titanium, so it's practically indestructible and very lightweight.
It also has an ergonomic, pry-friendly design, meaning you won't struggle to pop those bottle caps. And its skeletonized frame saves on weight. That last bit is especially nice, as the lanyard hole doubles as a keychain slot, making this a great addition to your EDC carabiner (if you have one).
Unfortunately, You Can't Buy This Bottle Opener on Its Own
While The James Brand has priced the bottle opener at $99, you can't actually buy it. In order to get your hands on it, you'll have to spend $300 on other gear from the brand. But because The James Brand is one of the best EDC brands on the market right now and offers a number of great knives, pens and other accessories, that $300 bar well within reach.
If you're really itching to get this bottle opener in your pocket, we've picked out a few items you can get from TJB in tandem to guarantee it'll be included with your order (as long as stock remains). Of course, you could also mix and match from the brand's exceptional catalog and hit that threshold with a combination of items, too.
