Half decent can opener?

[Rodrat]

Kuhn Rikon. Cut below the rim no no sharp edges and a small clamp mechanism for pulling off the cut lid.

We`ve had one of these : https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003KGK...=9045910&hvtargid=pla-613116673352&th=1&psc=1 for over thirty years - works fine except on rectangular cans.

Blimey, thirty years! Not a bad price too. I wonder If they're still made the same as they used to be? Lot's of stuff Isn't.

Canned food is not for eating, it is for storing in your post apocalyptic hideaway where the only thing required of a can opener is that it not fail before the supply runs out. Best get half a dozen, I’d say.

you can get an appropriate can open from the jim bakker website.

Jim’s products are all ring pull, easy seal (keeps the roaches and the rats out- after they’ve finished gnawing the corpses of the unsaved).

Yup, same here at 20 years plus, along with a Kenwood electric jobby which has passed the 10 year mark.

This; had it for yonks, cheap as chips and will open even slope sided Princes salmon and fray bentos pie tins.

Looks the best so far...

Yep, the Kuhn Rikon is far and away the best one I've ever used, can't fault it one bit.

Kuhn Rikon stuff is generally excellent. I have a pressure cooker and salt and pepper grinder from them and have been very impressed.

If your're a manly man try this, otherwise avoid.

I’ve had one called a Swing a Way comfort grip for about 30 years and it still works fine. Google seems to suggest you can still get them eg https://www.sophiecharles.co.uk/swi...m=237899&gref=54505544333&gdev=t&gloc=9045729

I think I bought it in Canada in about 1989.

That's not a can opener, it's a jockstrap.

yep, can't remember the last time I had some tinned food... tho, my lady likes to have baked beans from time to time...

Possibly, but mine’s not coming into contact with my groinal area unless I’m very cackhanded next time I open a can.

FTFY

 

[Fatmarley]

I was tempted by the Kuhn Rikon but because of the cheap price and the fact that a couple here have had one for 20/30 years, I bought the Brabantia.

I use blade 5 on the swiss army knife...stab it in and plunge round. Plunging and cutting is fun and leaves a lethal edge to cut yourself on.

 

[stevec67]

My Swiss Army knife is often used for this too.

 

[Radfordman]

Believe it or not, Poundland's can opener works very well.

I don`t doubt it but I`d avoid the cut price version from the 99 pence store.
