Scottish Red Deer Stag Antler Bottle Opener with Antler key ring, Scottish gift, house gift, antler gift, horn gift, mens gift

This is one of my new Antler bottle openers. The antler came from a stag that roamed the hills above Lairg, Sutherland. This is an extremely rugged part of Scotland and I’m sure it makes the Stags and their antlers extra tough! Antler is one of these materials that is a joy to work, approximately the working hardness of Oak, it responds well to careful working with both machine and hand tools. I have sanded any harsh edges to make the handle ergonomic to hold but have left as much character as possible. Colour-wise, Antler tends to be predominately creamy white, sometimes with tones of pinkish brown and even some green. I love the natural shapes of Antler tines as they always make for a unique and interesting piece.
The bottle opener itself is perfectly engineered and adds as quality weight to the piece. This one is finished in a bright chrome finish.
The opener measures: Overall length 200mm / Antler handle length 159mm (thick end width 21mm)
It comes complete with a black presentation box and Antler key ring as pictured (length of 42mm).
As with all my pieces, i have added my “UBC” makers mark, in this case to the underneath of the Antler handle.
Cleaning should be done by simply wiping down with a damp cloth and leaving to dry.
