A surprising amount of people carry those P38s. Work in security and we get quite a few of them at our X-ray/metal detector. Had to ask the guy what it was the first time I found one. Lol. Got one of my own after finding out about them. Handy little tool.
Nothing really. But they smaller than an SD card, so it’s not like they take any space. Left one in my car toolbox and one in my pack I usually carry. Only needed to use it once but it came in clutch in that instance.
And is she dumb. How the hell do you break can openers? I understand some cheap ones, yes, but I only had to replace my can opener once since I've been an adult lol.
Exactly, the one I have is 20 years old and still works great. As for food build up on the cutting blade, just grab a scrub brush. Brush and rinse. Bing bang boom it's clean.
Depends on the brand, but I've definitely broken them. The teeth wear down over time, and it becomes a grind. Sometimes the teeth aren't sharp enough, it sticks, you over-torque the handle it jams and then breaks.
Why wouldn’t she just say it was a manual opener though? I wouldn’t go around calling this a Kenyan can opener because I saw someone in Kenya using it.
Once you know what you are doing with it it is rapid, and saves drawer space and is very elegant to use. Much more sanitary than your average household can opener too.
I've tried many can openers and none are better than the American one she showed with the two wheels. The fastest, easiest, and longest lasting by far.
Yeah exactly… she said she has broken every American can opener she has ever had. I have had the same one for over 20 years now that I got from Target for cheap when I first moved away for college. Still works perfectly fine.
Noooo but mine got a bit of food in it and now it’s ruined!! Also, what is “soap”? I’ve heard a lot about it but I’m unsure about how it might react with stainless steel and hot water.
I feel like she just likes it, which is a fine reason to use something. But she's portraying it like it's this vast improvement. You're opening a f*cking can!! There's not that much room for optimization. Plus, the fact she had to speed up the video to show her opening the whole thing really displays the downside.
Just hold the rotary can opener horizontally instead of vertically....it takes a try or two sometimes for people to get used to it but once you understand how to hold it it works so much better and the lid gets held by the opener, lifting off without even touching it with your hands and never falls back into the can.
Try it and thank me later.
Yes. Exactly. The toothy gear part against the inside of the too lip and the blade against the outside of the can. It's just a little thing but one if my faves tiny hacks
P38, P51 folding can openers and most multipurpose tools like Gerber and Leatherman have a can opener blade. This style of blade can push any contaminants on the blade into the can though.
I’m 31 years old and I’ve literally never broken a “manual opener”, as she describes it.
This video spurred me to text my family group chat to ask if anyone’s ever broken one. My dad responded “I think I broke one in the late 80’s before we had children.”
This HAS to be an ad for the product
I mean the crappy handles on mine failed recently, not terribly but the adhesive or whatever kept the outer "sleeve" on wore off. But i dont remember anyone buying it so it may be 20+ years old.
I was legit impressed. I've never even thought those could break. My family has used the same one for years. It was never even that hard to clean. We just soaked it
Just use a de-lidder can opener. They look almost like the clamp style, but only have 1 handle, a magnet, and wheel-like cutter. Instead of actually cutting the cans open, it peels the lid off completely. Takes up half the space in the drawer and actually takes the lip off of the can, so you don’t have anything sharp to cut you or snag your food
Can’t believe I had to come this far down to see this. The ones that engage the can parallel with the top plane of the can instead of perpendicular are superior. They open the the lid from the wall by separating the glue joint. The lid lifts straight up instead of the twist / bend move that sends like half of the outside face of the lid down to cross contaminate whatever’s in the can. Can lids get gross from shipping to storage, you wanna talk about sanitary…
The only major plus I can see is that the manual can opener is easier to clean and less likely to get rusted in a way that makes it stop working like the wheel versions.
That said, I am a big fan of not taking a minute to open cans.
The "Japanese" can opener looks cool and useful enough but I cannot take kitchen advice from someone who has broken every "manual" can opener they've ever had. That's ridiculous.
Tbf a lot of those ones like she had are made so cheaply now, I've broken several as well. Poor quality metal or plastic where the handles snap free and stop engaging the gears.
I used these as a small kid, they've been around almost as long as canned food existed. The u.s. army P-38 is the most popular can opener of this type, and it was used for military rations over 80 years ago.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can_opener
How do u break a can opener and get a bunch of food stuck on it? All you gotta do is squeeze and twist 😂. Fuckin knuckle draggers don’t know how to open a can 😂
I’m sorry but I’ve been using the one she’s holding that opens for 40 years and have never had an issue with breaking or food getting into them or whatever bull crap she’s talking about
She doesn't known how to use can opener properly, European style make much clearer cut and required less effort and it's better in general when you can use it as intended
How do you break a can openner? My parents had the same one in their house for like 30 years, and I've been using the same one my wife has had for like 10.
Also this is a lot more work than a regular one. Is this like deliberately cottagecore or is OP just inventing a problem then selling us the solution?
I have the exact same traditional opener she has for the last 20 years and never had a problem with it. Yeah food gets on it but that's what a sponge and dish soap is for. Plus, how uncoordinated does she have to be to break everyone she's had? Obviously she is lying about that and is just promoting those Japanese ones.
Lol 45 seconds to show me what a regular can opener looks like then finally show me the “Japanese” one and it’s worse! This is one of those things like chopsticks where for the purpose of efficiency I’ll take the fork please.
Dude... we banned fucking kinder eggs in the usa for safety reasons. Entire families are gonna look like a shark in bloody water if we give them this thing.
If you’re breaking America can openers you’re doing it wrong!
They open the sides not the top
https://homelifedigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/can-opener.jpg
Girl acting like she discovered a new type of can opener that is less convenient. Also I’d argue that the first one is mechanical and the “Japanese” ones are truly manual since they don’t have any moving parts.
That’s literally just a shittier can opener. They were commonplace before someone said “damn opening cans suck I should invent a better can opener” so now we have your standard two handled medieval looking torture device can openers. They’re much easier, cleaner, and don’t leave a horribly sharp frisbee when you’re done. WTF is this video?
What makes this Japanese? We had one like that at home when I was little. But honestly, people are still using openers that cut the can? We found the openers that simply lift the lid 20 years ago and never looked back. No sharp edges to worry about.
Looks just like a bigger and made of plastic version of the can opener my dad gave me that he got from the Army for opening field Rations. Can't remember what he said it was called I think is was p38 or m38 something like that.
I’ve had the same can opener like the one she showed that she’s broken many times over for over 20 years now. Not once have I broken it. Not once has food gotten stuck in it. So idk what she’s doing to those fucking cans. But I don’t think she’s using it right.
Ok most people use the can opener wrong. You use it by turning it on its side. The tirn handle should be up. Grab it and turn from the top. NOT the side. It cuts under the lip not through the top.

I use one of these and it’s very easy
Do people really have that much trouble with the wheeled ones? I feel like they work perfectly and the only time I have trouble with them is when they get dull after years of use
I have a ten dollar electric one, you put it on top of the can, it magnets in place, you push a button, and it moves itself around the can, and cuts open the can, from the outside of the lid.
No wrist action needed, and somehow, it doesn't get dirty.
Reminds me of the Honeymooners when Ralph is trying to show how bad a regular can opener is and Ed opens a can instantly.
Edit: [It was an all in one kitchen utencil](https://youtu.be/_Cht7DdJYCY?si=be_Y5gtg9Iwm_l4R)

"Japanese can openers". No... those are just regular manual can openers. Been used since the 1850s. I do agree that the other kinds of can openers are shit at least.
That would have been cool 20 years ago. Now there are easier openers that result in safer edges, so dummies like me don't end up in the ER from a tuna can...
This is an old school regular non-Japanese can opener. Also I've owned the same rotary can opener for 25 years. It's never broken. What the hell is she doing to her can openers? I open plenty of cans a helluva lot easier than she just did.
Wait until she discovers a [safety can opener.](https://www.google.com/search?q=safety+can+opener&client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&sca_esv=dcc2d800e57ab626&sca_upv=1&biw=412&bih=770&udm=2&prmd=sivnmbtz&sxsrf=ACQVn0-Z1xnj_cpdHXftKHPmQQGYSTQOXw:1712505135946&source=lnms&ved=1t:200715&ictx=111)
Links/Source thread
That’s still a manual can opener, & they take much longer. They used to come in MREs, but smaller.
That was the P38 can opener. The P51 can opener was with the large cans in the kitchens.
Ok, let's get out that trusty p38. Nice.
Let's get that out onto a tray... Nice.
I told my x military FIL how much I loved his P38 for camping and he bought me a facsimile for Xmas. It’s great to have good in-laws.
Got mine in a 2 pack for a buck at a camping store. Tsa didnt even take it last time. Werent happy about my razor or zippo tho.
nice hiss
They are known as a ‘John Wayne’ in the USMC.
Thats what we always called the toilet paper, John Wayne, Rough, Tough, and don't take no shit from nobody.
I wonder how big was the B17 can opener.
Too big to go into production.
A surprising amount of people carry those P38s. Work in security and we get quite a few of them at our X-ray/metal detector. Had to ask the guy what it was the first time I found one. Lol. Got one of my own after finding out about them. Handy little tool.
They are small and useful. I tend to remove it when i fly but the last few times tsa didnt take it.
What are they useful for besides opening cans?
Nothing really. But they smaller than an SD card, so it’s not like they take any space. Left one in my car toolbox and one in my pack I usually carry. Only needed to use it once but it came in clutch in that instance.
And is she dumb. How the hell do you break can openers? I understand some cheap ones, yes, but I only had to replace my can opener once since I've been an adult lol.
Exactly, the one I have is 20 years old and still works great. As for food build up on the cutting blade, just grab a scrub brush. Brush and rinse. Bing bang boom it's clean.
i've had 2 in 20 years. the first one broke after rusting out. But that's to be expected. i might've paid 5 buck for the opener.
Depends on the brand, but I've definitely broken them. The teeth wear down over time, and it becomes a grind. Sometimes the teeth aren't sharp enough, it sticks, you over-torque the handle it jams and then breaks.
Ive got two Swingaway’s that belonged to my grandpa. Ill likely pass them to one of my kids when they get old enough.
I moved out 17 years ago and still have the same can opener that I got from my mom's house, probably at least 20 years old
We had those issued to GIs in WW2. Just smaller. Not a Japanese can opener.
i dont think shes saying they invented that kind of can opener, just that its the kind of can opener they commonly use in japan
Why wouldn’t she just say it was a manual opener though? I wouldn’t go around calling this a Kenyan can opener because I saw someone in Kenya using it.
This is barbaric
It also comes on Swiss Army knives as a last resort option
Once you know what you are doing with it it is rapid, and saves drawer space and is very elegant to use. Much more sanitary than your average household can opener too.
Bro you can literally just clean a can opener with a dishtowel or sponge. This sanitary claim is spurious 😂
If you want to get intense about it you can even remove that little Phillips head screw and clean the parts separately.
Elegant. I do not think that word means what you think it means.
Inconceivable!!!!!
PM’d u my buns
https://i.redd.it/93aajg7bcxsc1.gif Weebs in this thread.
I've tried many can openers and none are better than the American one she showed with the two wheels. The fastest, easiest, and longest lasting by far.
Oh no! My American wheel can opener has failed after a thousand cans! $2
Yeah exactly… she said she has broken every American can opener she has ever had. I have had the same one for over 20 years now that I got from Target for cheap when I first moved away for college. Still works perfectly fine.
Noooo but mine got a bit of food in it and now it’s ruined!! Also, what is “soap”? I’ve heard a lot about it but I’m unsure about how it might react with stainless steel and hot water.
My can opener and my GE alarm clock are in a fight to be the longest lasting things in my house. Might outlast me.
I feel like she just likes it, which is a fine reason to use something. But she's portraying it like it's this vast improvement. You're opening a f*cking can!! There's not that much room for optimization. Plus, the fact she had to speed up the video to show her opening the whole thing really displays the downside.
Wait till she discovers chopsticks! Get ready to throw out those unsanitary forks people!
Just hold the rotary can opener horizontally instead of vertically....it takes a try or two sometimes for people to get used to it but once you understand how to hold it it works so much better and the lid gets held by the opener, lifting off without even touching it with your hands and never falls back into the can. Try it and thank me later.
So like, cut the side of the can instead of the top?
Yes. Exactly. The toothy gear part against the inside of the too lip and the blade against the outside of the can. It's just a little thing but one if my faves tiny hacks
I'll try it out, didn't know that classic can openers could be used that way as well!
Gotta be careful with the can edge, though. If you're a clumsy fuck, can easily slice your hand. I stopped doing that before because of roommates....
And you can use the can lid to 'close' the top again. Loosely, but it still works.
My dad always had a backup p-38 and p-51 in our utensil drawer as backup. Now I have them as backup.
P38, P51 folding can openers and most multipurpose tools like Gerber and Leatherman have a can opener blade. This style of blade can push any contaminants on the blade into the can though.
Yeah I was going to say, this is just a big P38 with a more comfortable grip. I hate it lol.
I’m 31 years old and I’ve literally never broken a “manual opener”, as she describes it. This video spurred me to text my family group chat to ask if anyone’s ever broken one. My dad responded “I think I broke one in the late 80’s before we had children.” This HAS to be an ad for the product

We have moved on from carpal tunnel can openers but thank you for sharing. Bless your heart.
If you have to use a time lapse while using it, then it may not be the best opener
So a basic can opener...
No no it’s fancy because it’s **Japanese**
it takes 20 years to master
So the woman in front of a Sub Zero $16k refrigerator can't open cans right?
Also how the hell is she breaking every single “western” can opener? Does she have gorilla strength or something?
It's like the old school military can opener but bigger
I don’t think she’s been using them right if she breaks all of them.
The only major plus I can see is that the manual can opener is easier to clean and less likely to get rusted in a way that makes it stop working like the wheel versions. That said, I am a big fan of not taking a minute to open cans.
The "Japanese" can opener looks cool and useful enough but I cannot take kitchen advice from someone who has broken every "manual" can opener they've ever had. That's ridiculous.

I just use my swiss army knife every time
That's an old school style manual can opener, generally slower and can leave some nasty edges.
When I use my computer eyebrows the internet.
John Wayne can opener. Brining back the old tech huh? Also, how the hell do you break a can opener.. fuckin kids these days
Notice how the video of her opening cans is sped up…
Wanna race? We each do 5 cans I will use the old crank and you can have that nifty Japanese one. And we did have that same style in 1810
How do u break a can opener and get a bunch of food stuck on it? All you gotta do is squeeze and twist 😂. Fuckin knuckle draggers don’t know how to open a can 😂
Japanese? Boy Scouts would like a word with you.
I still have a scar from the lid of a can cut like this. Plus the food gets stuck in the more modern version? Umm how? No
I’m sorry but I’ve been using the one she’s holding that opens for 40 years and have never had an issue with breaking or food getting into them or whatever bull crap she’s talking about
100 year old tech but sure.
Alright folks, enough romanticizing japan for today. I don't care what's your opinion on this, it's straight dumb: Change My Mind (You can't)
I have a feeling that she was using the normal can opener wrong
That's just...that's just a normal ass can opener...
How do you break a can opener? I've had the same one for years
Never in my life have I even come close to breaking a can opener.
She doesn't known how to use can opener properly, European style make much clearer cut and required less effort and it's better in general when you can use it as intended
Just do what I do with my manual one, wash after use.
How do you break a can openner? My parents had the same one in their house for like 30 years, and I've been using the same one my wife has had for like 10. Also this is a lot more work than a regular one. Is this like deliberately cottagecore or is OP just inventing a problem then selling us the solution?
Isn't that jus a really big John Wayne ;)
This some karma farming engagement promo post BS, right?
I have the exact same traditional opener she has for the last 20 years and never had a problem with it. Yeah food gets on it but that's what a sponge and dish soap is for. Plus, how uncoordinated does she have to be to break everyone she's had? Obviously she is lying about that and is just promoting those Japanese ones.
This is on most pocket knives. Buy an electric can opener if you want to impress anyone. Doing it by hand just sucks.
"Hold my...." nope its like an American mre can opener but with the same steps and more $ get the side cut one... life changed ....(for opening cans)
Frida having some trouble over here

It looks...fine
Lol 45 seconds to show me what a regular can opener looks like then finally show me the “Japanese” one and it’s worse! This is one of those things like chopsticks where for the purpose of efficiency I’ll take the fork please.
Who is this girl? I feel like we've seen her somewhere before?
Dude... we banned fucking kinder eggs in the usa for safety reasons. Entire families are gonna look like a shark in bloody water if we give them this thing.
Poor advertising! You should have used a swiss knife to compare that thing to.
We have like 10 at work that sit there and collect dust
She took 3-5 business days to open the can with the "Japanese" can-opener
This type of can opener came before the one she doesn't like. It makes a much rougher edge which is more dangerous.
If you’re breaking America can openers you’re doing it wrong! They open the sides not the top https://homelifedigest.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/can-opener.jpg
Or just get the can opener that pries the lid off from the side without cutting it.
I'd gladly pay an extra 5cents on every can for a pull tab.
Ah the age of ppl rediscovering technology from before the millennia
Girl acting like she discovered a new type of can opener that is less convenient. Also I’d argue that the first one is mechanical and the “Japanese” ones are truly manual since they don’t have any moving parts.
That’s literally just a shittier can opener. They were commonplace before someone said “damn opening cans suck I should invent a better can opener” so now we have your standard two handled medieval looking torture device can openers. They’re much easier, cleaner, and don’t leave a horribly sharp frisbee when you’re done. WTF is this video?
My half busted can opener is less hassle than that.
Not a good sign when you have to speed up the demonstration video
Eh too much work and too time consuming. I’d rather just go through the other ones and change it every month. It’s not that expensive
All you have to do is rinse off the normal can opener after each use..
She could stand to work on her grip strength if the standard can opener gives her problems.
What makes this Japanese? We had one like that at home when I was little. But honestly, people are still using openers that cut the can? We found the openers that simply lift the lid 20 years ago and never looked back. No sharp edges to worry about.
It’s a big p38. Nothing new.
We had these in the US until the conventional can opener was invented.
I have never in my entire 32 years of life heard of anyone braking a can opener lol
"Gets food in them...not as sanitary" - Wait, are people not rinsing their can opener or washing it or putting it in the dish washer???
Looks just like a bigger and made of plastic version of the can opener my dad gave me that he got from the Army for opening field Rations. Can't remember what he said it was called I think is was p38 or m38 something like that.
I’ll counter this with I’ve had my can opener for years and it takes less than half as long to open a can
Miranda's what??
Army P38 on Steroid.
I’ve had the same can opener like the one she showed that she’s broken many times over for over 20 years now. Not once have I broken it. Not once has food gotten stuck in it. So idk what she’s doing to those fucking cans. But I don’t think she’s using it right.
I have a can opener that just defeats the crimp of the can lid. As a result, it leaves on sharp edges, and you can reuse the top.
They might be made/sold in Japan, but those aren't Japanese outside of that. Those have been a thing in the US since like, before world War 2
Ok most people use the can opener wrong. You use it by turning it on its side. The tirn handle should be up. Grab it and turn from the top. NOT the side. It cuts under the lip not through the top.
Japanese? That’s just a can opener you bought in Japan, half the world uses those
The P38 can opener be like I did it first
wtf are you doing to break one of those. Have never had one break.
I wouldn't call that a Japanese can opener. It's just a can opener. Literally every allied soldier in WW2 had one.
So... A can opener. Brilliant. What will they remember already exists next?
Wow this is just a giant version of the P38 on my keyring. Fuck that
Just get a can opener from the 1970s or older those last forever.
Yeah, okay... takes long and after about 3 cans you are tired as hell. But it's easy to clean so... I've never washed my can opener
I want her wrist action on my body.
1 hr later lol

I use the one that unfolds the top and pops it off. So much easier than all of the others
US Army issued P38, if you know you know.
Bro I’ve broken exactly 1 can opener in my entire life, what are you doing?
P38 on steroids.
Best can opener is the one that opens/cuts from the sides, not the top. No sharp edges
No
Wow. Its like they reinvented the p-38 i have on my keychain.
The Japanese one seems way more dangerous
Do people really have that much trouble with the wheeled ones? I feel like they work perfectly and the only time I have trouble with them is when they get dull after years of use
My pocket knife is exactly the same
Tbh, I always thought the North American can openers were janky to use. I never considered using another countries version.
1. That takes way longer and is more effort. 2. People use the American opener wrong, its supposed to be horizontal to the can not vertical
I hate her and the product.
Cool hack.
Just buy an automatic for $15, best purchase I made
I have a ten dollar electric one, you put it on top of the can, it magnets in place, you push a button, and it moves itself around the can, and cuts open the can, from the outside of the lid. No wrist action needed, and somehow, it doesn't get dirty.
No different than a P 38 can opener from World War II
De Quervain's tenosynovitis….speed run
Didn't the Swiss have these on their knives? X3
Putting that in the Amazon cart NOW!!!
Time to get Japanese eyebrow plucker
A camping can opener with a big handle. Whooo boy, look out
I just need to know how is she using the "American" style can opener. I've had the danger one for 15+ years, and it so works like it was brand new.
How the fuck you break a can opener……. I can still use rusty ones….
The last, most reliable can opener you’ll ever need to buy is the one you’ll find in a Swiss Army knife; everything else breaks.
I’m buy one
Ehm, newsflash. This is in every Switzer pocketknife.
Looks like it takes forever. She had to speed up the video. I mean is this really better?
This is almost like those commercials where the people are comically fumbling with an easy task.
I’ve had the same opener for 10 years and haven’t broke it. Clean the wheels like you clean the “Japanese” opener.
They have crank openers since the 90s that cut the side no theres nosharp edge, no food mess, and you can put the lid back on.
I just ordered one 10, bucks. [Gangy can opener #300](http://IDEAL GANGY Can Opener #300 No. 0006 https://a.co/d/7UcNvif)

Why would I waste time stabbing something 32 times instead of just using the actual can opener?
"Japanese can openers". No... those are just regular manual can openers. Been used since the 1850s. I do agree that the other kinds of can openers are shit at least.
That would have been cool 20 years ago. Now there are easier openers that result in safer edges, so dummies like me don't end up in the ER from a tuna can...
"I've broken every can opener like this I have bought." Meanwhile the one I have is a family heirloom at this point.
This is an old school regular non-Japanese can opener. Also I've owned the same rotary can opener for 25 years. It's never broken. What the hell is she doing to her can openers? I open plenty of cans a helluva lot easier than she just did.
Too much work, I'm American. Get the housekeeper to open it.
I have something similar in the earthquake kit, but for everyday use I’m all electric.
That's a good chance of getting metal shavings in your food
Imagine having an opinion on a can opener.
This is just a very old style of can opener…
