0130 Stainless Gandhi Can Opener

We've had so many can openers break on us that we decided to try this manual type. It works excellently! It is hardly that much more work and the lack of wheels/mechanisms in this can opener means it will last longer. We love it and will be buying this type going forward.

I feel like I have bought a new crank style can opener every year for the past 10 years. They just always rust or break in some way. Or the disc blades go dull. Finally we just completely gave up on that whole style of can opener and returned to the more tried and true basic design. This Japanese can opener feels like something from decades past -- made of nothing but stainless steel and built to last a lifetime. The handle is large enough that you have plenty of leverage compared to a portable tool. It's completely simple to rinse clean, and just like silverware, it won't rust.It's sad that the world no longer produces a decent swing-away style opener, but the Japanese are always reliable for building quality things that work as they should and last as they should.

If you haven’t switched from traditional can openers in the US, this is your sign to buy it!!

i'd never considered getting something like a manual punch non-mechanical can opener. it was like from WW2.but there is NO mechanical, knob-wind type, manual can opener i've found that will not come apart and break after minimal usage. and i'm a bachelor so don't need a $50 electric can opener.as i looked through the old-style punch style, the kind one would see on Popeye cartoons, i came across this. it looked like something made for a street brawl. i thought, 'now THAT will not break!'it arrived pretty darn fast, and it definitely looks like something you could take into battle. i was however surprised at how easily it worked...especially since i'd never used one before.this is great, quick, even kind of fun to use. it will likely last several lifetimes, so i can bequeath it to my heirs.this is a very cool winner. also love the original Japanese packaging! get one!

Our can openers kept breaking over time. Got tired of that so got this old school opener instead.It is very sturdy and easy to use. Takes a minute for a newbie to learn how to use it. That's it, not rocket science. No power open, no battery needed. No wifi connective and it doesn't respond to Alexa. It just opens cans.

I wasn't sure if this would be suitable for us but I've been so tired of buying new can openers just to have them break less than a year later. This works perfectly. Pay close attention while in use because it is very sharp and you could cut yourself but it opens cans so easily and there's really no part to wear down or break. Highly recommend.

it is sturdy and durable but a little awkward to use

I bought this because I was buying jalapeno rings in the one gallon cans. The one gallon cans were putting too much strain on my electric opener. These manual ones work perfect
