In America cans are opened with pull tabs mostly. The cans that require a tool to open are less expensive than the convenient cans of whatever consumables are contained within. I haven't see a can like that since I was a kid five decades ago. 🖖
Yes, pull tabs makes a lot of sense from a user's perspective. I was really surprised I could still find the Tulip with key can in 2022. It's like finding new old stock! I really can't imagine why Tulip would still want to produce key cans other than perhaps due to depreciated machinery and tooling. Regardless, if they are still producing, it means people are still buying!
When I was young coffee came in a short fat can that had a can key to remove a strip of metal, it was designed to allow the lid to go back on to keep the coffee fresher. I am not sure I have seen anyone open a can on camera with a swiss army knife. I bet there are several SAK owner’s that didn’t really understand the can keys use. Thanks for showing it in use.
Hi, thanks for sharing the old style coffee can. If you go shopping the next time, keep an eye on the coffee aisle. For all you know, they might still be selling!
The are still quite a number of squared off Philips in Ebay but not the fine screwdriver. However, it looks like the key can will probably go obsolete once the tooling reaches end of life. Can hardly find key cans nowadays. A piece of nostalgia.
As a food plant project engineer I assume those old key cans are still being made by 40+ yr old machines and it hasnt been worth the cost to modernize those lines. Would love to see that machine and know how many millions of cans it has made for several generations of people!
Still notice that all corned beef Still have the key can, and also noticed a luncheon loaf at the Dollar Tree with a key on it. They are pretty much gone now in the US, pretty much have gone over to the pull top, or the standard can opener cans. I have a Camillus 1992 U.S. Army knife that has a can opener on it, and enjoy using it, but prefer using a standard opener.
I'm guessing that all those cans with can keys are produced using depreciated machines. The can opener for Camillus and Wenger looks similar in shape. Yes, at times, a standard tool does the job quicker, though the Vic is closer at hand most times.

Wow opening this pork can with Victorinox is just beautifull !
And it’s fun too! Thanks!
Very nice, I'd prefer one of those too.
Thank you. Unfortunately, you will need to do a custom build unless Victorinox decides to introduce this combo.
Never seen a key-opening can before. Interesting. Haven't seen the squared-off Philips either. Nifty.

Useully corned Beef tins. You can put the 2 bits back together to seal the tin back up and to keep the meat for longer after use.
Canned corned beef still comes with a key.
Nice to know. Thanks for sharing.

Several generations indeed! Yet the machines are still churning out flawless products!
I've always wondered what the slot was for. Thank you!
Now you can buy a can of corn beef and have some fun!

Very nice scale with a watch.
Thank you!
Really nice work 👍
Thanks a lot!
I dont know about that type of Philips screwdriver with can opener.
Interesting thing!
It's no longer in production but you can still find them on ebay or some old stocks.
Thanks for sharing.
You’re most welcome!
Nearly every brand of corned beef still uses the key opening method.
Nice to know. Thanks!
Watches a knife video, craves potted meat. Go figure.

Noted. Thanks.
Loose the canned voice
Any recommendations for a software with human like voice. Thanks
Sorry I don’t have a recommendation. I’d bet there’s good ones out there.
Or hire someone to read it
