This old “iron” isn’t a weapon… it’s an old-fashioned “opener for everything”.

Why does it have 3 sides? Each side has a function: 1. The long, pointed blade
This is for cans/preserves. Before the “rotating openers” we have now, they used to do it like this:
They inserted the blade into the can lid and twisted it slowly until the lid was completely removed. It’s a tricky skill and requires concentration to avoid getting cut. 2. The small, hook-like blade
This is for glass bottles. Before plastic caps, bottles were sealed with metal lids. This blade goes under the lid and flips it over quickly. Tick! 3. The short, curved blade
This is for opening sardine cans or for making a hole in condensed milk cans. It makes two holes so the milk comes out without curdling. Why is the wooden handle peeling? This is a sign of hard work and quality. 👌 It’s genuine wood, not plastic. The wood absorbs sweat from your hand and doesn’t slip. The red color: In the old days, they used to paint kitchen utensils red so they would stand out and not get lost. The balls at the end: These are its “weight.” They keep it balanced in your hand and prevent it from falling over easily. Does it still work today? Yes, and it works better than many newer openers.
