Hi All,
A large amount of the responses were for the Swing Away model.
I found out the old swing aways were really good, but that they got bought out by the Chinese and quality supposedly diminished a lot.
But somehow there is an American made version of this same design by a different company. It is called EZ-Duz it, and is widely hailed as a quality product.
I managed to get both swing away and EZ-DUZ-IT in front of me.
I can assure you that EZ duz it is better quality.
So I give libwhacker the award for having suggested the best can opener. Maybe the german one someone suggested is good too, but it costs 3 times as much
