Meta: TKP Keychain Bottle Opener Photos and Video

Wanted to share something I've been working on for the last few months. TKP will be rolling out an in-house financial support system, and the TKP keychain bottle opener will be an exclusive gift to those that become members (i.e. they will never be sold otherwise). Hope you all think the design is cool. It's very challenging to make a functional bottle opener in the shape of Virginia from scratch.

The Key Play keychain bottle opener โ€” it worked! #hokienation #Hokies #virginiatech

Best news I've heard all day.

Yeah I think we're all going to need one with the way this day has gone.

Will this new financial support system incorporate PayPal? As in, am I going to have to do any work to switch over, or will my current monthly donation count?

I coded up my own module that will integrate directly with TKP. TKP will handle the payment processing via Stripe, which takes much less of a cut from each transaction.

Sick. Any idea when it'll be operational?

The module is actually all coded and just hasn't been enabled. The blocker has been getting these bottle openers manufactured. I hope it's ready to roll by the beginning of March.

On a day we needed good news, Joe delivers!

I was planning on donating to the site but now it's just going to look like I'm donating for a bottle opener.

"Thanks Joebama" needs to become a thing.

What a waste of money. Who needs a bottle opener? /s

Agreed. Just do this

Some prick friend of a friend did this to our coffee table in college while the damn bottle opener was sitting on the damn coffee table! Didn't take the corner, just a nickel sized chunk off the side.

Plan for the worst and hope for the best, not the other way around.

Any other "paid" perks that you can confirm?

The real question is why was the inaugural test of this bottle opener wasted on IBC root beer?

Apparently they're hard to open? /s

Was the sound tested to insure optimal decibels for key shaking?

@VTimHokie85

The material they are cut from is stainless steel which will ensure: 1) long product lifetime, 2) much noise while jingling.

just out of curiosity: what grade stainless (304, 316, 440, 17-4H, etc)?

It's 304.

Joe,
A technical point pls make sure they passivate these for you- otherwise they'll develop a slight "rusting" over time.

Soooo, are you willing to disclose how much membership will be? Am I good where I am now?

How well do these open bourbon bottles? The way things have been this week I feel I need to be prepared.

Looks awesome Joe!

One comment, you've got to do something about that ring finger hangnail.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

Looks superb.

Like the opener but you could use a good manicure.
