    Like this.

    Works too, I've been caught short with a can of soup at work before now and used this method!

    The guy in this video is crap at it though, with a bit of practice you'll be in within 30 seconds.

    Have one of these:

    Worked flawlessly for ~50 years (still sharp as new), prob will work for another 50.

    The fancy new ones even come with cork screw.

    Hate the crank/butterfly style ones, they break very easily and also are a bitch to clean off properly.

    I've yet to encounter a tin that can't be opened with one of these -

    Whoever if you're old an arthritic than maybe one of those kenwood electric tin openers is probably your best bet

    I am sure this would work wonders for my arthritis and I imagine my cutlery. But noted should I ever be really stuck.

    Putting it like that i suppose not.:D

    Too late I have thirty tins of tuna without ring pulls.:D

    I must get one of these. Can openers are clunky pain in the arse. This is a much more elegant approach.

    Anyone got a link for this, I can find the hinged variety but not the unhinged?

    Found out what it is just not where to get one. It's a Fiskar 838076 CAN OPENER - STEEL
