Abstract: A tab-top can opener is provided which facilitates opening can tops of both the pull-off and stay-on type. The opener comprises a slotted body portion integrally formed with a handle at one end and a chisel-like starter edge at an opposite edge. A transverse tab slot extends through the body portion for tab insertion and holding while the tab-top is pried to open the can. A wall portion defining one side of the slot includes a striker projection extending slot-outwardly a distance from a lower side of the body to afford leverage in removing tab-tops.
