Japanese Can Opener (Ganji Kankiri)

what a beast of a tin opener. this is wonderful! easy to use and it is a serious bit of kit. just slide the notch over the rim of the can with the blade just inside the rim of the unopened can and then press down with your left hand. You have to use a rocking motion with the can opener and turn the tin with your other hand as you cut the disc out. I've used this when ring pulls have snapped off when opening the can, and it's amazing how often that happens. there are similar products on the market that work in a similar way, but this one is built to last a long time. in my view, it probably wouldn't be suitable for those with weak grip, as you need to move the opener with some force, turning the tin as you go with your opposite hand, and please note, the cut out disc does remain in the can, and there might be sharp edges too. this is a manual product in every sense of the word. think hard core outdoor camping and you have it.

Tired of losing your fingers every time you want tuna?For ten long years, I lived in fear of the can.I have tried every supermarket can opener.You squeeze the arm's closed, twist the wheel... and nothing! The can laughs back at you with barely a dent!Now you're standing there like a caveman with a chef’s knife, praying you won't injure yourself while you're cutting the can open.But no more!The GANGY No.300 is here for the resque!Forged from Japanese stainless steel and possibly blessed by Mount Fuji's deities themselves,the GANGY No.300 grips the tin can like it owes it money and slices through metal like it’s butter. Try it on your kitchen sink!It doesn’t slip. It doesn’t struggle.It doesn’t require two hands, a workout, or a PhD in can-opener mechanics.One twist, and you're in.No blood. No tetanus. Even your cat can use it!Just perfectly opened cans and a deep sense of emotional healing.No more driving your car like an F1 pilot to take your husband to the Emergency Department!With the GANGY No.300 he will shake his boss's hand with a firm grip, only achievable by a hand with 5 fingers.I opened my first can of chickpeas with the GANGY 300 and cried a little. Not from pain for once, but from joy.So if you're tired of:Slicing your hand open like you're prepping for a medieval duel,Playing “guess the correct angle” with flimsy junk openers,Or living in fear of canned goods...Get the GANGY No.300.Your fingers and your dignity will thank you.

This design is similar to can openers uses by the British Army. Tried and tested, simple and effective design. I got fed up with usual can openers moving parts breaking or cogs wearing out. No probs here, cuts through metal like a knife through butter. Quite satisfying to use aswell.

This Japanese can opener is pure genius! The sleek, simple design not only works like a charm but also looks great in my kitchen. It cuts through cans effortlessly, and the sturdy build feels so reliable. I’m obsessed with how practical yet stylish it is—definitely a must-have!

If your anything like our family, we have been through SO many can openers over the years. All losing the grip and ability to turn after a few months. It doesn't matter if you spend hundreds on the things, they just don't seem to work!So I thought I'd go in search of an alternative...Who's efficient? The Japanese. I feel like they wouldn't put up with the can openers we've got here and would come up with a better solution...Well here it is. What a brilliant, simple, foolproof solution!It took a little while to figure it out... But then when you don't look at instructions for the first 5 minutes, what do you expect haha. So after having a look at what I was actually meant to do, lone behold... It worked super easy!It's very sturdy design and doesn't look like it will break anytime soon.Really pleased and no going back on this design!L I F E. S A V E R(well, relatively speaking to the kitchen world)

The media could not be loaded. Strong and well made. Sharp blade can open a Fry Bentos, so it’ll open anything.

I have some semi-automatic tin openers that do the job whilst you turn a handle, and they're great most of the time. But the other day my son brought home one of those famous pies that you cook in the tin and nearly broke two of those tin openers trying to get into it. In the end I had to use a sharp knife and risk losing a few fingers (which thankfully remain attached).To avoid this in future I bought this bad boy and it goes through these tins like a hot knife through butter. It takes a little bit more effort that than the other tin openers but not much and its immensely more satisfying. Also the lack of moving parts likely means this will likely out live those fancier tools by a generation or two.Growing up my dad was in the military and we would often have to open tins with the openers that come in military ration packs. This is similar but much much easier due to its size.My son has taken his love for almost empty pies that take more effort to prepare than they're worth, off to university and so this is an underused tool in my armoury. It's there if I need it though and I like that. Plus he'll be home at Christmas - though hopefully with an improved taste in pies.It's five stars from me.

I love the size, quality, and performance. Everything is amazing; the only downside is the zinc on the blade, which is not ideal.
