It seems to take less effort to open a can.

This to be honest. It's just so fast to use these things in comparison to multitool type openers. What model is this?Best can opener can be had for under 20 bucks. Hands down the best one I have ever owned.

I used to swear by electric can openers in kitchen but these days with ring pulls I don't need them all that often. When I do it's usually big or oversized cans and those are a real pain with something like a multitool or field can opener.

A coworker wanted to borrow my Buck knife to open a can. When I declined, he told me how he used to open cans in the army with a bayonet. "Then you should have packed a bayonet with your lunch", I told him. Use the correct tool for the job and don't ask to borrow my knife.

Really? I don’t hesitate to use a P 38 on a #10 can.
I also use a knife to lift the ring on pull top cans.
To each their own. Whatever people want to do with their knives, I say more power to them. And I feel a certain vicarious admiration for people who use their knives with disregard for their well being.
And of course I know that some threads here at Bladeforums are created just for the fun of it and shouldn't be taken too seriously
.
That being said, I don't mind having to sharpen a knife as a result of "normal" use, but I generally try to avoid performing unnecessary tasks with a knife that are sure to dull/ruin the edge, or possibly cause real damage to the edge (or tip). Any damage I cause is damage I have to fix. I've done a lot with knives, but I don't believe I've ever chosen one to cut through metal.
On more than a few occasions I've thinned out the thick factory edge of a blade by hand to get the edge I wanted. With the amount of time and effort invested in such a chore, I'm reluctant to ruin the edge I worked so hard to produce, especially if there's a better tool readily available for the task.
