This can opener cuts through the side rim so no sharp edges. The magnet keeps the lid from falling into the can after cutting. The construction is comfortable to hold and sturdy.
Old fashioned can openers leave you with a ragged piece of metal that can cut you while removing or even when placing in the garbage but this can opener leaves behind no sharp edges so it is much safer plus it never comes in contact with the food contents of the can. I replaced all of my kitchen utensils with upgraded Zwilling utensils and i love the way all the handle match and that they are all high quality stainless steel. It's fun and easy update for your kitchen tools.
Learning to use this opener takes a minute. But it is well worth it. It opens cans smoothly and cleanly. Minimizing the chance of cross contamination and reducing the risk of inadvertent cuts. Handles are comfortable and easy to grip. Very well done.
Easy to use can opener that is attractive and made from the brushed stainless steel that Zwilling kitchen tools are made of now. As I slowly replace my old tools to these, I love the form and function of them all. Nice they have hooks so can be hung, too. Make great gifts for the new bride or a new apartment!
