NOTE: After making 3 more of these here is a tip....forge the hat part after all the face features are done. This allows for more "meat" at the top of the fold and it doesn't wander side to side as much, less risk of breaking off at the thin point on top.
Very nice bottle opener. I have saw Bennet's video also but it never occur to me to fold the bar in order to add mass and depth. Have you ever tried to forge weld the fold?
You are very good artisan ☺

No but I'm sure it can be done
