Hi Mike and all,
Couldn't let this one pass :-) The original beer bottle opening meteorite
is owned by Blaine Reed (unless he sold it to Mike Jenson which I doubt).
Think it is a Canyon Diablo (predates the Sikhote-Alin's arriving on the
collectors market by many years). Blaine has opened a few thousand (or is
that ten thousand) bottles of beer with that specimen. He's been offered a
good bit of change many times over the value of his specimen but claims it's
a pride thing or something like that. Best!

Martin and All,
I never considered the 'Toolbox' sub-genre of meteorites. Very well done
and interesting!
Though not a historical one, one of my favorite 'Toolbox' meteorites is
Mike Jensen's Sikhote Alin beer bottle opener. I always search the bins in
Tucson for one, but I think Mike Jensen holds the only one in existence.
It also allows one to employ the ultimate geek pick-up line: "Excuse me,
Miss, allow me to open that Coors Light with my meteorite for you."
Best,
Mike Bandli
