In the era prior to the hinged devices with a metal rolling disk. You could use this monstrosity to poke an initial hole near the rim, and slowly nip/fold your around the edge until you girdled the can lid. We had one at home. I never saw anyone use it. And yet no one EVER threw it away. Feel like this is the thing U.S. Civil War troops might have used to open Tinned Meat
