Everything is junk today ! I couldn’t find a decent can opener and had to buy one that poorly designed . You might be able to find a good second hand one at a thrift store.

One of my manual can openers is Oxo brand. I’ve found all of their kitchen tools to be thoughtfully designed and of good construction.
