ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a can opener with a manual turning knob and a magnet. The can opener has a first cutting side, second turning side, an upper handle, and a lower handle. The manual turning knob comprises a wheel with indentations. The top of the wheel may be flat, allowing the user to turn the wheel with his or her palm. The manual turning knob is disposed adjacently to the second turning side on a pivot post which intersects the lower handle. Attached on the opposite end of the pivot post is a driving toothed wheel which rotates upon rotation of the manual turning knob. A cutting edge or disk is disposed adjacently to the first cutting side on an upper rivet, the upper rivet extending out from the first cutting side of the upper handle. A magnet is disposed on or adjacent to the cutting disk such that a completely severed lid of a can will rotate toward the magnet. The magnet and cutting edge are angled downward toward the lid of the can. The invention is also a method of opening a can that prevents the lid from dropping or immersing into the food contents of the can.
