Recommendation? Folding knives with a built in bottle opener?

I was recently looking at the Kershaw Shuffle, and was wondering if there are many other knives out there on the market that have an integrated bottle opener.

I will probably end up with a shuffle, but something with nicer build quality would be nice too.

I know about the GEC Beer Scout, but those seem fairly unobtainable at the moment.

Any suggestions? Preferably a sub 3 inch blade, but any suggestions are welcome.

Yep, have a lot of swiss army knives, wasn't considering those for some reason though :)

Dpx HEST or DPX HEAT. The bottle opener doubles as a wave too. Also the Spyderco waved Delica and Endura’s wave works quite well as a bottle opener. Unfortunately the Emerson waves don’t work well as bottle openers.

There are a few versions of each of these knives. Full titanium, g10 framelock, I think there is a flipper too. some are made in italy by lionsteel some in the usa

I bought 2 Kershaw Shuffles to give to non-knife people who liked bottle beer.
Neither one of them would open a bottle of beer.
 
Kershaw do a lot of these for some reason — there’s the Pub and the Cinder if you want something smaller than the Shuffle.
 
My problem is that a) I always want a cap lifter (and screwdrivers and scissors) with me but b) my tastes in my EDC knife carry change on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis among a short list of favorites.

Bottom line: I don't want to be constrained to a single EDC knife just because it has a caplifter.

My solution is to carry a small keychain sized multitool in my off pocket. The Leatherman Micra and Gerber Dime are two that have caplifters and they disappear in my pocket.
 
I got a deal on some Kershaw shuffles for $5 each with free shipping a while back, I bought 10 of them and give them out as gifts. They are ok. Like mentioned there is the cinder and pub too.

I just use my nite ize s biner as my bottle opener, they are like $4

If you look up the model 15 caplifter, it’s very similar but it’s not called a “beer scout” and I’ve seen them around cheaper and more commonly.
 
What about carrying one of those credit card sized bottle openers that fits in your wallet?
