Japanese Can Opener (Ganji Kankiri)

This Japanese can opener is amazing in its simplicity. No moving parts, just a sharp tip that smoothly cuts around the lid. It’s easy to use once you get the hang of it, super durable, and easy to clean. Way more reliable than traditional crank openers, and perfect for the kitchen, camping, or even keeping in a knife roll.

The browser just refreshed, erasing my review. Sigh. Ok, let's try again. The US Government used to issue a little piece of metal that went on a keychain. Called a P-38, It had a piece that folded out with a point, and was used to open cans of food. There was a notch on the main part that would hook on the rim of a can of food. The point would puncture the top and with working it around the rim and repeatedly puncturing, a can could be opened and the top removed. This opener is Japanese quality, nicely finished and it works about the same. Hook it on the rim of a can of food, rotate your wrist to puncture and cut a groove, then move the opener over a little bit and do it again. And keep doing that until you've gone all the way around. It's fast once you figure it out. No moving parts. Only the point that punctures the can top, so it will probably last as long as I do.

I was so sick of my can opener always getting rusty but this is so good. It's sharp it cuts through the cans easily and its easy to wash also. It's a good price and it's good quality i've been using it for a few months now and it's held up really nicely. At first I tried using it and i wasnt using it correctly and i was so bummed that I wasted money and this but then i just looked up how to use it properly and its so easy, literally easier than a regular can opener.

I was just a little unsure of how to correctly use this item, as there were no written instructions that came with it. However, the simple and straight forward design made it pretty easy to figure out. The blade is sharp, and needs to be stored properly to protect the blade and your hands, when reaching into a drawer. I wish it came with a blade cover or protective case of some sort. That being said, I keep it in my knife drawer with all of my other sharp kitchen items and use it almost daily. Because of the design, the blade must be thoroughly cleaned after each use. Since I’ve had this can opener, I have used it probably a hundred times and it shows no sign of dulling or other types of wear. It is sturdy, comfortable and quite satisfying to use— especially after endless frustration with failed “traditional” can openers. I have had probably a dozen different can openers over the last several years, and each time I get a new one, I have considered it an upgrade. I’ve spent anywhere from $10- $100 on each can opener, only for them to break, bend or become useless from wear in under a year. The constant frustration with my most recent can opener is what led me to search for something new and entirely different than the other can openers I’ve had. Honestly, I can’t think of a good reason to buy anything else; As long as this one holds up for a reasonable amount of time, I will be buying another just like it when the time comes. Very happy with this can opener.

Best can opener I've seen so far,small and well built.

I had been looking for one like this for a long time, this one works great, I've been using it for months and it's still like new.

Wish I'd known about this long ago. It does not require a firm grip or strength or any great skill. Easy, fast, comfortable and works with weak grip.

I love this thing. No moving parts, ultimate reliability. Its similar in function to a p-38 can opener, but with this beefy handle. Its very comfortable and works a treat! I would say its the best manual can opener I have come across. It opens cans quickly and effortlessly. It is slower than a crank can opener, but not by much. The blade is stamped out of thick stock and is sharp. I can see this lasting many, many years. It has a bottle opener and a corner to pry with, could be used as a straight slot screw driver in a pinch. On top of all that, the price is so good. I have used worse can openers that cost 5 times what this does. Its my favorite can opener. the only thing it lacks is a can punch, for piercing a can of condensed milk or something similar. So what I do for those is I cut a medium slot on one side of the lid as if i was opening it, stop and rotate the can 180 degrees and cut a small slot for air to get in the can so I can pour. Works well enough. Get this one, you won't regret it.

I’ve gone through lots of can openers over the years, and after some research, I picked the Korin. It’s easy to use and feels really sturdy with a sharp blade. Just a heads up, it does leave the edges of the can a bit rough, so be careful if that’s an issue. Overall, I’m happy with it and it seems like it will last.

This can opener is really easy to use and feels very sturdy. It cuts smoothly and cleanly without leaving sharp edges. The size is perfect and it’s easy to store in the kitchen. Great quality product and definitely worth buying.

SUPER DOSENÖFFNER Ich brauchte einen Dosenöffner für Stark verbeulte xxl Dosen für den Gastrobereich die Ränder der Dosen waren so stark verbeult das man die Dosen mit einem Normalen Dosenöffner nicht mehr öffnen konnte. Aber mit DIESEM DOSENÖFFNER konnte man die verbeulten Dosen mit etwas geschickt ruckzuck öffnen. Also wer viel mit verbeulten Konservendosen sich rumärgert beim Öffnen mit einem normalen Dosenöffner der sollte sich DIESEN DOSENÖFFNER ZULEGEN.!!
