Sabre Paris Tortoise Bottle Opener Bath A showstopper Italian pewter bucketThe beautiful mottled tortoise shell pattern of this Sabre bottle opener takes its distinctive look from the Hawksbill sea turtle. An endangered species, the turtles were captured and their shells used to make combs, frames, inlays, and spectacle frames. The practice was banned globally in the 1970s, but this synthetic replica will open bottles of beer or San Pellegrino in style.
