The Kinkajou Glass Cutter Kit

The Kinkajou Bottle Cutter project was successfully funded on Kickstarter until July 8, 2012. The product is now in full production and can be purchased by the general public. The available color options for the Kinkajou are Bright White or Deep Black, and Standard Kits include 3 pieces of 80-grit silicon carbide sandpaper.

UPDATE: The Kinkajou Bottle Cutter project ran on Kickstarter through July 8, 2012. Its funding was successful, and Kinkajous have gone into full production, and are now available for standard consumer purchase. Kinkajou color choices are currently Bright White or Deep Black, and Standard Kits also come with 3 pieces of 80-grit silicon carbide sandpaper. Higher level pledges include more Kinkajous, additional pieces and grits of sandpaper, starter stencils, and a bottle of glass etching cream. A $50 pledge on Kickstarter returns a Standard Kinkajou Kit for slicing and dicing keepsake glasses from wedding wine bottles, creating vases or decorative pieces from favorite vodkas, or a fashioning a My First Hangover tumbler set from the circus show of liquors that had me heaving up stomach lining in a mulberry bush at the tender age of 15. My guess is that the entire process takes anywhere from an hour to 3 months depending on your level of proficiency and attention span. Once the wheel is affixed and tightened, a single slow turn of the bottle creates horizontal hash marks that smoothly separate the two halves when the bottle is doused in alternating boiling and cold water. Though called a bottle cutter, what the Kinkajou actually does is score its glass. Still, cleaving glass is a project. Even the Kinkajou can't turn a handle of Captain Morgan from rum bottle to beer stein in one fell swoop. Lehoux contends that its size, manageability, and aesthetics set it apart from other bulky, less intuitive devices. And although the Kinkajou concept is not original, the market currently supports several different bottle cutters. Beer bottles, liquor bottles, wine bottles, fancy Perrier and Voss water bottles, any glass vessel whose contents have been sucked dry are contenders for Kinkajou bifurcation. "Kinkajou", therefore, is a balls-on accurate name for Patrick Lehoux's Kickstarter project, a compact, easily-applied glass bottle cutter. However, like Pomeranians, kinkajous are actually vicious, bear-like beasts with razor-sharp teeth capable of slicing perfect perforations through thick layers glass. The word sounds like it applies to a precocious, yet cuddly, mammalian sidekick that sits on your shoulder and surreptitiously swipes peoples' two
