Try to use moderate amount of force. I have the E6, and yes, the can opener is not sharp, but it allways gets the job done for me. And yes... Its the bottleopener who doubles as a can opener.

no can opener listed by mfr on Mdl C2-could you be looking at the bottle opener?

Did you find/use the can opener? I have one that isa couple of years old, and I see where the opener shoud be, but it is not sharp and does not open cans! I rarely take cans backpacking, but it would still be niceto have on there. Any luck?
