Well that's a gizmo I've neve seen before.
Thank you Mr. Altair.
I still get funny looks when I use my old GI issue P38 from way back when I went through boot camp.

Aside from the nasty case of lockjaw, that thing works surprisingly well!

Lockjaw; depends how much one likes green beans. After successfully centering the spike in can.
Meanwhile, wondered at potential tetanus also.

I think a lockjaw pandemic would be fine right about now...
You guys have lost me. For a start Tetanus and Lockjaw are one and the same thing and what has any of this got to do with an old can opener. It’s not “rusty”, it has an age patina but neither of those conditions will give you Tetanus or any other sort of food poisoning. A simpler form of this opener is still sold and widely used in Asia today. My one which is around 50 years old is still in regular use and it works very well. How many of you have a modern tin opener that has lasted that long.

Tetanus is the name of the infectious disease. It causes sustained muscle contractions. A locked jaw is one of the possible effects.Originally Posted by Moby Duck
They are not the same thing.

I understand what you are saying but does that mean that there is a disease that specifically causes Lock Jaw.
p.s. I’ve just done a quick web search for Lockjaw and there are plenty of medical organisations listed that think that it is also called Tetanus.
