I have both these types, however my favourite can opener is one that

I wish I had bought two, because I cannot remember where I bought it
from and will need a replacement one day.

It sounds like one sold on QVC, usually with a German bloke guest
presenting.


It's on the website now with a video demo. At least i think he's
German (they definitely avoided mentioning the war).

That isn't the same opener I have - mine looks more like the "lift
off" type, but the QVC one cuts in exactly the same place, leaving a
still-rigid can with no sharp edges.

The other items are nice too, but the whole lot is quite expensive at
£20.40 including P&P. QVC is rarely cheap.
