I used the can opener the dealer gave me to open my green can today. Being left handed made it a not fun task as it kept slipping off and banging my knuckles! After about 10 minutes and a want to say mean things about the Bugarians, I finally got it off (nice smell!). The corners was the hardest and most painful. Then, while looking for my ammo can my wife reminded me I left it at my brother's house when I gave him about 100 15 yerd old shotgun shells!
I then told my wife to get ready to go to the range and she said her bone spur on her hand hurt so she didn't want to aggravate it any more. I told her then housework wouldn't hurt it and if it did she could soak it in warm dish water. I then asked what she was making for lunch. I got a hot dog and chips.
Guess the son and me will go tomorrow. Moral of the story: Never make fun of the woman who pays for your guns and ammo!
well when the pin popped off on mine before, i had my Mauser bayo sitting right next to me so i just lunged at it. Like one of those scenes, two people fighting and the stronger one winning, yupp the can almost won. It took awhile but after a few slices, and the sharpness of my bayo, i was able to slice the metal and got the top open. The first jab was a little scary since i felt it jam into a casing, but luckily i was smart enough to go into the side of the casing and not head or rear on. O ya, when trying to use a bayonet as a can open, make sure you wear the proper protection, slices can occur..........poor desk.

You know, I was working the the kitchen at a medieval event this past weekend. Remembering the tongue in cheek suggestion about using one of those commercial, pin the can under the hand crank No. 10 tin can oveners and just crank it on around, I actually looked at one and visualized the spam can of ammo.
It might work, but I think you'd have to adjust it for cutting depth first to make it cut about 1/8" deeper. You'd for sure have to scrub hell out of the opener afterwards, or the customers would have something to say about that funny taste in their veggies.

You just tell them "That funny taste is the taste of victory over communism. Eat up and be thankful to those who fought for your freedom!"

Well I never!! you guys in alaska dont know whats good!!Moose and Seal ??Probably dont even have possums
Well, you don't have caribou in Missouri, so I guess the strange & bizarre food animals competition is a wash. I had possum once. It's okay if it's in a stew with a lot of onion, I guess. Tasted kinda gamy to me.
Never had possum. Crow/pigeon is good in a pot-pie. My favorite is end of summer (1st yr) or yearling groundhog. More tender than anything you can buy at the store! My wife doesn't like game and I learned early not to sneak it onto her plate.
I have had to eat a few crows in my life and I always keep catsup handy when I make a statement LOL ,ohh u mean real crows??
Crow seems to be the kid's favorite food - esp. when it comes to homework.
We had a pet crow and used it to call in others. The wild ones learned it's call quick though.
tin snips. red or yellow, just work in a counter clock wise direction, position them where the lip id in the cutters. works on canned food onthe job site also,
If I read one more "how do I open a can of Sardines" dang; git that dadgumthing open
I'm stressed; dadgumit; stressed, SEND me the mess and I'll properly dispose of it for you. Dadgumit. 1 damm can; dadgumit
In my dreams 'can of Sardines'
