OXO Smooth Edge Can Opener

Unlike traditional openers that cut through the top of the lid, this model uses a side-wind mechanism to cut along the side of the can. This leaves the lid and the rim smooth rather than jagged, significantly reducing the risk of cuts during handling.

The opener is designed with an ergonomic, soft, non-slip handle that is intended to minimize hand strain. While it is a manual tool, the side-wind mechanism is engineered for smooth operation, making it generally easier to turn than standard openers.

Yes, the bottle opener is integrated into the design as a separate feature. It is always accessible regardless of the can opener's position, providing extra utility without interfering with the primary cutting function.

Because the side-cut mechanism separates the lid from the side of the can rather than piercing the top, it is much less likely to drop metal shavings into your food compared to traditional openers.

To preserve the longevity of the cutting mechanism and the handle grip, we recommend hand washing this opener with mild soap and water rather than placing it in the dishwasher.
