Best non-SAK with a Bottle Opener?

Hey guys. I was doing my annual Christmas shopping and I considered some of the small folders with bottle openers. Yeah, I know any knife can be used to lift a cap. I'm talking about dedicated openers, and not as part of a Swiss Army Knife, Leatherman, etc.

I looked at stuff like the Kershaw Shuffle and Cinder but I'm not exactly thrilled. So what else is out there? I'm looking for less expensive ones that I can give away as gifts and also maybe a better one for myself to use around the campfire.
 
If you're open to traditional slipjoints, Case makes a Trapper with one blade and a caplifter. (GEC also makes a couple along the same lines, but they're generally harder to find and more expensive.)
 
My suggestion would be a Kershaw Ti Talon (1421ST).

It never appealed to me but I've got a 1420 and 1420ST that I like very much.

Just a few I stumbled across
 
I recently picked up a Harnds Lark. It's the right size for a key chain and the clip doubles as a cap lifter. The knife is small, non-locking, and made of 8Cr14Mov. Of course, that's better than the 3Cr13Mov on the Cinder! :eek: The blade is thin and came relatively sharp, so that's something. Maybe you can help me try out the cap lifter.
 
Well, I tried the Harnds Lark on a Warsteiner. It worked but I'm not in love with it.
 
I think the Kershaw Pub is a fun bottle opener with a knife on it. Also, the pocket clip of the Buck Spitfire works as a bottle opener.
 
What about a Gerber Dime?
The best thing about it is the ever ready caplifter. I add kydex clips on string to the keychains and give them to coworkers as gifts.
 
This is the better one for yourself; in your favorite steel, mine is Rex 45 :)

Not a knife, but as a fun gift:

Although you could just buy an M17 wrench, will work too (the famous German "17er Schluessel").

Prost,
