In order to improve the opener grip and handling, we increased the length by approximately 20% and the thickness by 30%. Additionally, we upgraded the steel from A36 carbon steel to Damascus steel, which is 35% stronger. With the refinement and upgrades, the new design is not only significantly stronger, but also more durable and more ergonomic to use. The length of the leather sheath was also adjusted to allow use of the bottle opener without having to remove the opener from the sheath.\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDamascus steel is forged together with several steel types to form beautiful undulating waves and patterns. Damascus steel will also hold its edge on the blade significantly better than most other steel, as evidenced by the popularity of premium Damascus chef knives in the market. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e*\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eEssentials Only Bottle Opener Local Pick-up Option\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e: If you are a local customer, you can select the local pick-up option at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/highsideva.com\/contact\"\u003eHigh Side\u003c\/a\u003e (City of Fairfax, VA) during check-out and pick-up during their normal business hours.
