Anyone know of a good manual can opener that will last more than a few months? We've gone through probably 4 or 5 in the last year.

We have two. The one I like is the type that cuts the entire top off the can. That leaves a top with no sharpe edges to get cut on.

We use this one. It is a side cutter and ours has lasted several years, no problems. This was from Amazon.

You must really open a lot of cans. I'll be 40 soon and have never replaced one, and I think my parents still have the one that was old when I was born.

New can openers are cheaply made. I have not found a good new opener.

Neighborhood women had a "Pampered Chef" party to benefit young neighbor mom with breast cancer..

Sweetie bought a can opener that cuts from the side of the rim.. It leaves a smooth lid and can lip.. Works well...

"Swing-A-Way" used to be a good can opener, but in the past 2 decades I have had poor results with a Swing-A-Way dated "3" and a "Kuhn Rikon" (Swiss side cutting). My go-to now is an "Ideal" brand "Suten Gangy" that is a P-38 on steroids (About 5" x 3" x 1" with a cap lifter as well). Found it as
