To appeal to the value-oriented market, this version uses more cost-effective materials like 3Cr13 stainless steel and a powder-coated finish instead of PVD. The design is simplified to a single-compartment structure to reduce manufacturing complexity and cost. It forgoes the pry bar and scraper for a more universally recognized bottle opener. The dimensions are slightly larger and heavier, reflecting the use of less expensive materials.
