Bottle Openers?

[SciArtImages]

As ever, thinking aloud, but I thought some good quality metal bottle openers (with as big a printable area as possible) would be good to add to my range.
Anyone know of anywhere I can get these?
Cheers,

Neil.

I like that idea Neil. If you can provide inserts for a keyring, why not a bottle opener? I'll have a word...

good idea

I saw some bottle opener keyrings, which made me think, but it would be great to have a 'proper' (about 4 or 5 inch long) bottle opener - in an ideal world it would be substantial flat metal with an indent (both sides?) to put the (large) blank deep enough so that it didn't protrude above the surface. Wouldn't want to hurt your hand opening a beer!
Maybe this could even be machined fairly easily if one were to know a manufacturer!?

Could these be the answer? This company offers engraving - could they also be sourced and coated with a printable surface?

I tried to find some bottle openers a while back that could be sublimated but something like this :- http://www.drinkstuff.com/products/prod ... less+Steel

But i had no joy i know there not really big enough to a photo onto but i had a few designs i wanted to print on them. So if these could be coated i would be interested

Would these work if sprayed with digi-coat? (see http://www.digicoat.com/ for digicoat).

It does say that the spray is for wood, stone and ceramics but would it?

the video shows it being used on 'untreated metal' but stainless steel I don't know?

P.S - FAO Brett (Purple Dragon), see the image on the hip flask at the end (thought you'd like that mate)

Edit:

A UV protective over coat containing two types of UV inhibitors to give maximum UV protection. This UV coating is an air drying product and does not require a curing cycle. This over coat can be used on glass, metals, wood, plastics etc.

£14.95 for 1x400ml can (cheap enough to try?)

I did kind of have a look at doing that but im sure i read somewhere that that stuff is not up to much
