    Sgian Don't...couldn't resist

    Browsing in a local antique shop yesterday I ran across this nifty little bottle opener. For $1.25 I couldn't resist.



    When I got it home I discovered that there was a cork screw hidden in the handle!



    A block of walnut, a 5/16" hole, a bit of carving to produce a thistle head, some black stain and Danish oil, and here it is! The screw snugs up perfectly in the handle.
    I love gadgets!

    Looks great - an interesting take on the more usual sgian brew.
