Camillus older type can opener

[knives-are-quiet]

I have this Camillus knife with an older type can opener.
I can't figure out how to use it.
Anyone know how they work?

.........you puncture the lid with the pointed prong, then hook the prong with the 90 degree bend on the lip of the can and walk it around the can........works great!!!!............. .................

Thanks Carrmillus.

Does the cutting edge of the prong cut up or down through the can lid?

For right handed people -- You rock the handle of the knife up and away from you and go counter-clockwise around the can lid.

Edit: The blade cuts on the up stroke when you pull the handle back towards you.

Down & counter clockwise. Back towards you and down through the lid in a pivoting cut around the inside edge of the rim.

***EDIT**** Jerry was already typing.........yeah what he and I said
