It's gone from his site, but you can still see it via the Way Back Machine here (scroll all the way to the bottom of the page):

Hi Mike, 

I'd love to see a pic of Mike's beer bottle opener. Now you've got me 
curious. I have some SA individuals around here that are about the 
right size. I'm going to grab a six-pack and see if I can find an 
opener. 

I remember showing this meteorite ( 
http://www.meteorite-times.com/Back_Links/2006/March/s-a2b.jpg ) to a 
friend at the Tucson Show and she said something like, "Oh, that would 
make a nice hook. It could go on your wall and you could hang your 
coat on it." I guess that would make it a toolbox meteorite as well 
(;- )

I always search the bins in Tucson for one, but I think Mike Jensen holds the only one in existence. It also allows one to employ the ultimate geek pick-up line: "Excuse me, Miss, allow me to open that Coors Light with my meteorite for you."
