Abstract

An apparatus and device for concealing personal effects in combination with a device for opening a container is disclosed. More specifically, one of many embodiments of the device may include a combination of a casing, such as a wallet or other device for concealing personal effects, having an instrument inseparably attached thereto for opening the container.
