Re: Knives with a CAN PUNCH
If anyone cares, 2,698,480 is the patent number for the "Beverage Can Opener". It's simple genius, just a twisted stamping. J.O'.

Re: Knives with a CAN PUNCH
Here is one by Bonsa that folds out. The handles are twice as thick as normal to absorb the pressure.

Re: Knives with a CAN PUNCH
I was confused by "Can Punch", but "Beverage Can Opener" clarified that these were knives with what I always called a "Church Key".

Those soda and beer cans weren't like the "modern" ones. I used to smash empties against my forehead.Miller Bro's wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2026 6:46 pm For those that never seen a soda can without a pull tab![]()

Re: Knives with a CAN PUNCH
You're just a pup, Kevin! According to a Google search, soda was first canned in 1959 (Royal Crown being the first), and pull tabs were patented in 1963.woodwalker wrote: ↑Sat Mar 14, 2026 6:58 pmThat's cool!!

Re: Knives with a CAN PUNCH
“Pull tabs patented in 1963”
Well, I guess it was the older pull tab cans I crushed against my forehead. I should’ve remembered that, I also made “chains” with the pull tabs.

Re: Knives with a CAN PUNCH
Pretty cool info Ike. I was born in 1960 so yep, I dont remember the sodas like that. I did get sodas in fountains for a 5 cents And you could buy a bottle coke (those small coke bottles) for a 5 cents.
