Description

This opener pairs a stainless steel opening mechanism with a solid wood handle, giving a wider, more comfortable grip than a flat metal blade. The extra leverage from the longer handle makes it noticeably easier on the hand for anyone opening a lot of bottles, and the wood grain means no two are quite identical, which suits it well to display on a worktop or hang from a hook rather than hide away in a drawer.

It's finished with a food-safe oil that brings out the grain and gives some protection against moisture, though like any wooden kitchenware it should be hand-washed and dried rather than put through a dishwasher, where prolonged heat and moisture can dry out and crack the wood over time. A small hole in the handle end takes a hook or cord for hanging. It suits anyone who wants a bottle opener that looks intentional on a kitchen wall or bar, not just a tool kept out of sight.

Questions about this product

Can I put a wooden-handled bottle opener in the dishwasher?

It's better hand-washed rather than run through the dishwasher. Dishwasher heat and prolonged moisture can dry out the wood over repeated cycles, causing it to crack, warp slightly or the grain to lift, none of which happens with a quick hand wash and dry after use. A wipe with a cloth straight after use, along with an occasional light coat of food-safe oil every few months, keeps the handle looking good for years rather than months.

Does the wood handle make it heavier than a metal opener?

A little, though it's still light enough for comfortable everyday use in one hand. The extra weight and length compared with a flat bar blade actually work in its favour, giving more leverage so caps lift off with noticeably less effort on your wrist and fingers. Most people find it's a trade-off well worth making for the improved grip alone, quite apart from how good it looks left out on a worktop or hung from a hook.
