I’m 90% percent every can opener I’ve ever handled is on its original blade.

Never had a problem with the blade. The gear, though…

All seriousness has no youth mutilated themselves with this medieval tool and not been in the cloth?
Genuinely, these can smashers are treacherous. Fucking horrendous…
Very fun to crank, 8.5 out of 10

You can count how many cases of cans you opened in the year and then get pretty close. But most of them rust or get bent before they see 2500 cans. And most never even get flipped at all let alone replaced. Cooks just muscle through cans and say it’s a piece of shit and no one oils it.
You absolutely can resharpen them too. They basically last forever good as new with a little maintenance.

I swear that thing should have a stop at the bottom. Not a permanent one but something stopping me from yanking it out like Arthur and the fucking stone.

Our owner just orders a new one every year or two. He’s weird with money though. I get screamed at for leaving the light on in the walking overnight but he’ll drop 1000s on drain cleaners if he sees so much as a fruit fly.

The idea is you work out a rough estimate of gow many you go through in a week and just do the math, but I’ve only ever worked places that wait until it is “needed” (read: barely functional).

I don’t know how exactly yet, but this needs to be incorporated into the PG rated hazing in kitchens, please.

Holy shit, I’ve done 3k cans and I’ve never even cleaned the blade nor did I know it is reversible! WOW! 😲
