The Old Familiar Comb Bottle Opener is made for barbers, and anyone else who likes to keep their hair in order while sipping on a refreshing bottle of beer. A two-in-one creation, it features a classic comb on one side and a simple bottle opener on the other for optimal usage. Although it may seem like a creation for a very specific group of people, everyone needs to brush their hair and there are quite a few who find carrying around a bottle opener at all times very necessary.
Created by barber Kenji Prince, who hails from Columbus, Ohio, the Old Familiar Comb Bottle Opener is locally laser-engraved and -cut from 12ga stainless steel. It is available in two versions: a mini Mustache/ Beard Comb or the big daddy Full Size Comb.
