Super Kim French can opener
£14.50

Made near Nantes, of chrome and nickel plated steel, with a tempered cutter, and rubber dipped handles, and designed for simplicity and longevity in use. The Super Kim is surprisingly (sometimes confoundingly) easy to use - winding itself through and piercing the can lid as the handle is turned, and simultaneously crimping the cut edge as it moves around the can - minimising any sharp or ragged edges. Without long handles it can be used on either side of the can, enabling left or right handed use.
