In Response To: Can opener - free (Jay Babina)

: I use a old type can opener (churchkey) (beer can opener) the one with the
: "V" shaped end. Grind the end thin and use it upside down.
: Everyone seems to have a few of these in a drawer somewhere.

I used one of these for a while. Worked just fine. I ended up taping a short piece of strip to the back for added leverage.
