Mine Train Spike = your new bottle opener!
As many of you may recall from Six Flags, a Mine Train is an awesome old-school roller coaster.
It's also a type of train used in mines. Go figure, right? Well, said trains have tracks and said tracks require lots of spikes. Those spikes, combined with a scorching amount of heat and a hammer-wielding blacksmith, create the Mine Train Spike Bottle Opener.
Forged by hand using anvils, hammers, and other awesome tools
Every Mine Train Spike Bottle Opener is forged by hand. A skilled blacksmith heats the steel spike to 2000°F and then uses hammers, chisels, and a few specially-designed tools to turn a boring old spike into a keychain-sized beer-opening device. Pure awesome.
Protective beeswax coating
After all of the chiseling, clamping, heating, and hammering, the blacksmith adds a thin layer of beeswax for protection and a bit of color.
