Can Opener

I found this in my kitchen drawer and have no idea what it's for.

I recently found out that the classic American Amco Swing-A-Way can opener is now made in China, and has been since 2008. Usually that's the end of a story like this, and the only way you can find ...

I have to get a new can opener. I want a manual one that's easy on the hand/wrist to use, cuts well and cleanly and is durable. Your suggestion? Thanks.

Does anybody here have actual experience using the new One Touch can opener that, supposedly, you just lay on top of the can and let 'er rip? Does it open a can entirely and cleanly? I have grown v...

So over the past 4 years or so we've owned 2 cheap-o manual can openers and one mid-range opener. All have died and failed. Mostly we use these for opening large tins of tomatoes in the off-seas...

Title about says it all.... Manual or electric free-standing for my husband for valentine's day.... Thanks!

I'm not sure if this is the correct site since it really isn't cookware but here goes. I have yet to find a can opener that lasts for long before it loses it's ability to open every size can witho...

I have an OXO ergonomic opener that will BARELY (if at all) open my canned goods from Thailand and Mexico - cans that have a shorter metal top that American cans. I've tried other openers and thro...

I need a new can opener. I don't want a big electric one,and despite my left-handedness have put enough years of practice behind me to use the standard manual kind. But, as I am essentially restoc...

I don't know if this is as amazing for you all as it was for me but I had to share. On a recent trip to home depot to buy paint the guy working the department gave me one of these paint can openers...
