Most recommended can opener?
I've found myself looking for a really good can opener. I purchased my last one, a KitchenAid, from Target and I've been disappointed in it the whole time. Sometimes it doesn't puncture the lid right, and it feels like it got rusty kinda fast--not at all what I want out of a utensil I hoped would last for a decade or more (who wants to keep buying can openers? lol).
I'm looking for a manual handheld can opener. I've always had the type that opens from the top, but a little bit of Googling shows that there are types that open from the side. I'm in the USA if that matters!
What does Lemmy think?

Could you get yourself one of these Finnish can openers ("tölkinavaaja"). It's the most simple design and works perfectly.
I remember these from my childhood, but had forgotten about them entirely. I might actually pick a couple of these up for camping and to try out around the house--would be much better than taking a full sized can opener with me on trips, anyways. Thanks!
Just bought one, and one of those side-opening suckers from amazon. Cheers!
Looks very similar to a P38 can opener. I use one in my camping gear.
This style is the only one that reliably works all the time.
