And perhaps the most accurate summary came from a third commenter:
“I still have one and use it on occasion. Dangerous bugger if not used properly.”
What began as a simple kitchen clean-out turned into a lesson in culinary history—and a reminder that not all vintage tools were gentle.
So next time you stumble upon a mysterious object tucked away in a drawer, don’t assume it’s junk—or a weapon. It might just be a relic from a time when even opening a can required courage.
