Four Bombs, One Job!
Probably the best-known titanium bottle opener in the EDC scene is dropping – and in four sizes at once. The Beer Bomb by NotoriousEDC is opener and little pry tool in one, machined from grade-5 titanium and made to be used rather than admired. Pick the bomb that fits you and your EDC kit:
Baby Bomb – the fun-size version at 3/4 of the original. At roughly 4.8 mm and only around 17 g it lives on your keyring, in your backpack or in the glovebox. Don’t let the size fool you, it pops caps like a big one.
Original – the benchmark at roughly 6.4 mm thick. The classic everything else is measured against.
Big Poppa – 50 % thicker than the original, around 9.5 mm and about 60 g. Sits really solid in the hand if the standard feels too dainty for you.
Atomic – twice as thick as the original, around 12.7 mm and just under 79 g. Not subtle, no question about it! If you’re after understatement, you’re in the wrong place.
Why do we carry this tool? Because a comparable model was classified as a prohibited weapon by the BKA (Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office), but we found a clean solution. Together with NotoriousEDC we developed a 3D-printed insert (with the Knife Lounge armchair, of course) that closes off the opening and puts an end to any discussion.

Dirty Deeds – the tool for the jobs your knife shouldn't have to do
Notorious EDC is a US brand, and one of the few American EDC makers that actually make it to Europe. The Dirty Deeds itself is manufactured by Reate – which explains the tight tolerances and finish quality you'd normally expect from a high-end folding knife, not a pry bar.
What it actually does: prying, scraping, opening packaging, popping stuck lids. All the small jobs that otherwise end up done with your knife – which then needs cleaning, and then resharpening.
Grade 5 titanium, stonewashed
Machined entirely from Grade 5 titanium, the same alloy used in aerospace applications. Titanium gets you close to the strength of steel at a fraction of the weight, and it doesn't corrode on its own. The stonewashed finish hides wear marks – useful for a tool that's going to live in your pocket and pick up scratches from day one.

Small enough to disappear
The slim profile doesn't print in the pocket. It ships with a filler tab – a smooth titanium insert you swap in for the pocket clip if you'd rather carry it loose or in an EDC pouch. Takes a couple of minutes to switch over.
Pry bars haven't quite caught on in Europe the way they have in the US, but they're starting to show up more in EDC setups here too. Once you're carrying
