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.

Horrible! Hard to use, jagged cut. You need a du Blake (see previous
post).

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

Yeah, I've seen those in kitchens (rarely if ever used) and junk shops
all my septuagenarian life, none of which has been in Russia. Wooden
handle is an up-scale variation, though.
