From the sounds of it your opener cuts the rim???

Exactly. Now that you mention it, I've heard of the kind you're talking about. This is definitely different, though. It cuts right along the rim of the can and creates no sharp edges.

Yeah, I can see that being an advantage. It's not a big deal to me, though. Most of the canned stuff we use is beans for things like chili, and we drain and rinse those in a colander anyway.
