I would definitely not call myself normal and one of the ways I probably differ from the norm is I prefer a manual can opener to an eclectic. Opening a can of tuna over the sink and spilling tuna juice into the sink rather than on the counter just seems the way to go. Unfortunately every new can opener I get seems to break sooner and sooner. A recent can opener lasted me about a week. I returned that one and the replacement lasted about two weeks. I’ve tried to buy the more expensive models in the stores but they still break. I’ve gone through about five can openers in the last six months.

So, I’m looking for a manual handheld opener that will last. I would think $20 should buy a good opener that should last a few years (like they did in the old days). Anyone have a suggestion?
