Where would one find a new cutting wheel for a handheld can opener? I know you could buy a whole new one but I love a challenge.

Cutting wheel ? on a can opener ?
All the can openers I have ever seen use a
fixed cutting edge.
The toothed wheel drives the cutter ; the smooth wheel
works like a guide.

Looking at my Kitchen Aid opener, there is no fixed edge. Two gears, one
drives the toothed wheel, the other drives the round cutter. The only
thing that touches the inside of the rim is the round wheel.

On mine it is detachable.

What about sharpening yours on a sharpening stone?

It would be a bit of work but you do love a challenge. :-)

Cleaning all the grunge off and giving the cutter a little
rub with a file sometimes helps performance.

Here's a picture and video of a can opener with a rotating cutting
wheel:

Ahhh Ha .. now that I see it - I must admit that I have seen
that type before. I've just recently replaced my ~ 10 year old
Lil Kim with another Lil Kim.

You probably have to go back to the manufacturer and they will special
order one from China for you. It will come with the next shipment in a
few months and cost twice as much as a new can opener.

I must admit I've never seen anything like the Super Kim. I assume
that's what you meant; googling for Lil Kim only finds a bleached out
female dindu with a mouth the makes me look like a choir boy.
