Japanese Can Opener (Ganji Kankiri)

Simple by design and perfectly engineered, not surprising when it's Japanese made. Just wish I'd discovered this gadget year's ago. It's unlikely to break as there's not much to go wrong. All in all, a gadget well worth having in the kitchen.

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.

Any other mechanical can openers got blunt, rusted, or just stop working for random reasons. The simplicity of this design is amazing. You think you need lots of effort but actually no. It's just a bit of technique and get used to it and you will bevergo back to standard butterfly style can openers.

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)

It took a bit of getting used to but now I can use it, it is so much better than normal tin openers. It is so sturdy I don’t think I’ll have to buy another one again. Really good price and was a great stocking stuffer.

If you need something big to grip, this is for you. A simple tool with no moving parts that cuts easily and cleanly. I had no issues piercing the can - it’s quite sharp. It pivots on the underside of the can lid, slicing the metal quickly. Better for those with a poor grip or arthritic pain.

Have had many tin openers over the years, all generally fail... had this one a few weeks now... no moving parts, good construction.... opens tins effortlessly... very good

大きな缶でも心配なく開けられました！

I love this can opener! One never knows when you're going to need to open a can when you don't have access to electricity. I've been buying can openers that run along the lines of this one. It is very sturdy. The metal is strong and isn't going to bend when you're trying to puncture a can. Because it doesn't have two parts coming together to cut open a can, no food can get caught anywhere that's difficult to clean out. The shape of it is easy to grip with arthritic hands and fingers (my achy hands and fingers can attest to this). Even though it does take a modicum of strength to puncture a can, it doesn't take more than my wrists and thumb can handle despite chronic tendonitis. I was expecting pain; there was none. I'm a small person, 5 feet tall, and I have small hands. The can opener looks initially like it would be too big for me to use but it's not. It's absolutely fine. The blade is big so it takes less time to open a can than it would with a smaller P38 or even a P51. There is a bit of a knack to angling the part of the opener closest to you, towards your body so you have leverage against the can rim to push the blade down. The can opener is shaped like a big capital "O". You grasp the outer edge of the "O" with your fingers; this is the handle. The bit of the "O" that rests against your palm is rolled, so there are no edges against your skin. That makes it quite comfortable. The same can't be said about the part of the handle that sits under your fingers. While the edge isn't sharp, it isn't rolled, so it's not comfortable. It's doable, though. This is solely a right-handed can opener. If you're left handed and are not able to teach your right hand to adapt easily, this opener is probably not for you. I can't see a way that someone could push that blade into the can lid (while pointing the can opener towards you) without the pressure of a thumb...unless you have VERY strong wrists. Because it only has the one blade, there isn't a grip that's going to start slipping on can edges after a couple of years. It might get blunt after a long period of use, but honestly, I don't know of any blade that doesn't. This is great for camping and power outages. The bright colour makes it harder to lose. I keep it in its box so I don't get poked by its pokey bit when rummaging around in the drawer. If you're interested in using less electricity, getting back to basics, having things of quality that aren't going to break down or break apart, then I highly recommend this can opener.

I’ve gone through lots of can openers over the years, and after some research, I picked the Korin. It’s easy to use and feels really sturdy with a sharp blade. Just a heads up, it does leave the edges of the can a bit rough, so be careful if that’s an issue. Overall, I’m happy with it and it seems like it will last.
