I wanted to share the story of this incredibly easy mod I did over the weekend. Had a hard time deciding if this should be in the Mod forum, the edge forum, or the Cheap forum, they all seem to appropriate.
The backstory: My roommate and I talk about knives and MTs a lot. He has always mentioned to me that he finds it odd that no one has ever made a large folder that has a bottle opener built into the scales of the knife. I showed him about a dozen knives that have bottle openers on them but he specifically wanted a knife with a bartender-esque opener in the handle scales rather than the small hook-like openers that are more easy to find.
I have always been drawn to knives with multi-tool functions on them. I find that Kershaw makes a lot of knives like this. A good example is the Kershaw Barge with its crazy built in pry tool.
I stumbled upon the Kershaw Shuffle and the Shuffle 2. These are cool little knives that have a bottle opener and a pry tool/lanyard hole/slotted driver tool integrated very nicely into the design of the tool. Interestingly enough, I preferred the simple hook opener of the Shuffle while my roommate liked the shuffle 2 better. (I guess that the sideways motion one makes when opening a beer with the shuffle 2 was closer to what he had been looking for) He bought a Shuffle 2 and after holding it I decided that I liked the tanto blade but I hated that it was tip down carry. The Shuffle 1 was tip up carry but I never got around to buying one.
