This is another great Zyliss product.  I have difficulty opening cans due to arthritis or calcium build up due to too many gymnastics earlier in life.  As a result I need a very smooth easy to operate can opener.  This one did not disappoint.  It is a very nice and compact in size.  The grip is slightly padded with a rubber handle.  The operation was smooth and simple.  The cutting ability of this can opener is excellent.  It very easily opens cans with minimal effort.  I would highly recommend this if you struggle to open cans like I do.
