Are we talking the crank-style can opener, or even the hook-type knife that some multi-tools have? Because the hook-type knife seems like a no-brainer that should have been figured out months after tin cans, not decades.
Probably wouldn’t even have worked on those early cans. They were pretty thick, and heavier than the food they contained. The instructions usually stated to open them with a hammer and chisel.
But also, a lot of things seem obvious in hindsight.
