    A left handed can opener was such a game changer. I literally cross my hands one over the other to use a right handed can opener.

      Wait… How does this work? Like, what kind of can opener? The type I have, I would say works with whatever hands you want.

          Oh weird, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a can opener like that. Mine attaches to the top and cuts the sides of the can, not attached to the side and cuts the top.

            I have always done it the way in the pic above, but I just found out recently that you can just turn it 90° and cut it in the manner you’re describing. So if you are using the same type of can opener then you could probably just turn it like in the pic and try it that way.

            IMO it cuts better your way but also leaves a more sharp top on the can

              No I think I just have a totally different kind of can opener. I don’t think you could use mine in the way shown above, and it looks a little bit different.
