    I haven't seen a bottle that required a bottle opener in many years.

    So I don't have a Sgian Brew.

    But I do find time those times when I want the handle of a Sgain yet don't want the blade.

    So I came up with an alternative.

    It's not a Sgian Dubh --- It's not a Sgian Brew ---- It a Sgian Shoe!!



    Take one standard Safety Sgian - The one that is all plastic.
    Cut off the blade sheath.
    With a Dremel tool grind out a hollow in the handle.
    Epoxy in a shoe horn.





    Viola - The Sgian Shoe.
    If you are ever on an airplane and take or loosen your shoes to keep your feet from swelling or any other time, I bet a Sgian Shoe will come in a lot handier that a bottle opener.

    ps, the added bling to this is a piece of aluminum duct tape burnished on with a frayed toothpick.
