I just bought the bayonet style Russian can opener, which I
remember
always worked and never needed replacing. It does not require a
lip
around the top.

Got pics? Never heard of it.

HEH! That's HARDLY a "Russian" (style of) can opener! That's been
around since day-one of metal-canned food! I've got one in my
camping
pack, and it's not Russian, I can assure you! G

Tin cans were invented to answer Napoleon's request for a better way
to feed his Army in the field, shortly before he invaded Russia.
