I am not sure if you folks get the TV show Shark Tank in your programing but it was interesting.


You snooze you lose. The sharks were circling
I just watch an episode of Shark Tank. Maybe some of you have seen this show. Well it was Vet business week. The last couple husband and wife, that presented their idea was not something I have not seen before. In fact there have been quite afew people on this forum and others that have done this. It is basically a bottle opener made from a bullet. Most of the ones I have seen were 50cals but these were made from larger shells. But the concept was the same. He was a former Navy Seal and he was calling his opener the Bottle Breacher which was a play on the tatics that Seals use when entering hostile areas. He mentions he engraves them to whatever you want but will always have his company name on it.
They wound up doing a deal with Mark Cuban and Mr Wonderful for $150,000 and 20% (each getting 10%). His sales were quite impressive to start with. I guess those that now knock off this idea may have to look over their shoulders. He has a Patten. I just do not get the fasination with bullets but like the bolt action pens there must be a huge market. He mentioned he sold quite afew to people having weddings. Go figure.
Anyway has anyone seen the show??? Maybe something to keep in mind if someone wants to go big in the penmaking business. Get on Shark Tank and run with the business.
