In Search of a Can Opener

For some mysterious and frustrating reason, I can't keep a can opener longer than a year. Okay, granted, they aren't too expensive, and they are easy to find, but I get SICK of asking for can openers EVERY Christmas. Maybe I would like to ask for something more exotic! We have tried about seven can openers--the first, ECKO, was a wedding gift. These run standard at King's and Kmart. When that one broke, we got (after using the camping model for a week before we got to the store) another ECKO, which broke after a few months. Then we went through a couple I don't remember very well, after which I decided to splurge so we would "never need another can opener again" and bought a stainless steel KUHN RIKON
which promised that I would have no "dangerous sharp edges" and it actually has not yet broken. So it is still in my drawer. But it only opens cans that are NOT Western Family/generic or #10 cans (the main cans I possess :-) I would use the can opener on a can, only to find out that the can was impervious to this particular style of opening. Then when I tried another can opener, I ended up with a nice ring of SHARP edges--half on the can and half off. Definitely a hazard. So, instead of boycotting Western Family, I gratefully accepted a brand-new-favorite-colored Kitchen Aid

can opener from my favorite mother. This can opener somehow ended up with stripped gears or something (after a month) and had to be held at a precise angle to operate--and even then only MOSTLY opened cans. Grrrr. Then it quit altogether. So again, I purchased a cheapo model for the interim. Which broke TODAY. And when I say broke, I mean came apart in pieces and a spring fell out. So, I appeal to YOU my dear friends.

WHERE DO YOU GET A DECENT CAN OPENER?

Then I can put it on my Christmas list for the LAST time.
