Japanese Can Opener (Ganji Kankiri)

I suffered a stroke that disabled my right hand. This tool is the only way to open a can. Buy two in case you misplace one. I just ordered two more. Using it is good physical therapy. No moving parts and immensely strong.

Super great can opener saw someone use one online and really liked it, super easy to use and sturdy, very sharp so careful! A lil hard on small cans like the tomato paste ones but always usually opens!

I started off using a regular classic style can opener, but the gear for rotating the can would often slip and got rusty. Read about those fancy ones that cut from the outside of the lid instead, but those can sometimes put slivers of metal in the food, so that wasn't an option for me. Moved onto a P-38, which didn't rust, but was too hard on the fingers. Got a P-51 which was better, but still required quite a bit of effort. This is the last stop on my journey. It's extremely easy to operate, with very little force required to open cans. Not crazy about the color, but for how effortless opening cans is now, I don't care. Great tool, and cheap. Get it and be done thinking about can openers.

I love how easy and durable this opener is. You can also use the edge to open bottles 😁

A rugged can opener. Built like a tank. It opened a Healthy Choice soup can in 24 easy twists. It reminds me of American G I can opener but much stronger 💪. Get this you won't be disappointed.

I like how easy it was to open and operate, edges are very sharp and is easy to clean. Works just as expected! It’s very durable.

I love this thing. It takes a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it you can open cans far faster than a traditional can opener and it always works.

The media could not be loaded. Yes! THIS ONE DOES OPEN CANNED SALMON! It’s a simple but brilliant Japanese design for a can opener.Not ambidextrous enough to take a video while holding it. lol! But, at least, my included photo and video will demonstrate how to hold it/ give the correct movement needed. It will open the toughest can! The blade is super sharp, heavy weight metal- slices through cans like butter.My previous experience with well made US, German, and Chinese designed products failed. From the highest rated and expensive electric to the most basic options, nothing worked to open these heavier cans easily. Having arthritis now and weak fingers didn’t help. It was so painful! All previous can openers not only failed at open the can, but produced dangerous fine threads. The edges will be jagged, but I promise this one works!
