I have heard a lot about guys using blade's spine to flick open beer bottle cap.
some even use it to slice open a can of tomato sauce or tuna sideways incision.

are these safe?
I own a S30V steel knife and a CPM 20CV blade knife..are they hard enough for that use?

Use the spine to open beer bottles. Using the edge will damage it. Also dangerous. Use a can opener to open cans. A knife can do it in a pinch, but ask yourself why you are in such a pinch.
 
I've popped a ton of bottle caps with the edge of my knives. Also cut open lots of cans. Some will take it, some won't.
The only way to find out is try.
 
haha don't use your edge, any edge, it will dull a sharp knife of any steel unless the knife is already dull or too thick to cut stuff with. The technique is to use the spine

Opening cans, sure but it will damage a sharp knife edge of any steel. but if the knife is as sharp as a can opener, then its fair game. Don't need a super steel for that either :D ive had my cheapo can opener for 10 years and never had to sharpen it:eek: lol

^^^^^^^^This
After you learn the leverage bottle opening trick you will never need a bottle opener again. Ive used hammers, 2x4's, tv remotes, yard sticks, my dogs collar....anything rigged will do! And chicks dig it! :D
 
First you set it on the ground, step back 30yds or more , then you center the front post your rear aperture and gently squeeze the trigger 😁

I just use the cap lifter on the knife itself.

Why I have feel that word convex is somehow forbidden on this forum :)
 
If, for some reason, I don't have my SAK, I'll still have a bottle opener on my Leatheman Squirt PS4. If, for some reason, I don't have that, I use my teeth like a man.
 
I used the spine all the time. Nothing has ever happened to my blades. I've even done what Charlie mike has, it's much more fun that using a bottle opener. Just don't do it with a delica or something thin like that.
