I am on my 3rd can opener in 6 months. Are these made in China, or are the cans packed in China? I never had trouble in my 71 years until I got these

are not much. Do not want to grip can. I do better to open a can with a steak knife, pretty much a waste of time and finances.

I have problems with my hands, and can use this easily. The smooth action is so nice. Sorry you are having trouble with yours but I am sure they will replace it. There are always a bad apple in a basket and I guess you found it

Really? I was very surprised on how smooth this can opener works! And my husband can be very hard on our kitchen tools and it has held up very well.

The box says: Made In China, so I assume that means the can opener. I've had no trouble at all w/ mine. If yours is defective, I'd contact them [Kitchenace.net] & ask for a replacement.

I bought one and it didn't work for me. It was always slipping off the can. I returned it and did not reorder another. Although it is a nice looking can opener. I guess if it doesn't work, return it!!

I bought mine maybe six years ago and at the time made in Korea. I love them but understand your concern. I don't put hot food in them or microwave in them even though they could handle it.

These are made in China. However, these are the absolute best lids ever. I ordered 2 sets of them and glad I did. You won't be sorry.

A buyer of one is answering the question. These are made in China. I don't know what the importer may be doing with the rest of the world. Amazon needs to forward the question to them.

Alas, unfortunately, they are. I have a set and I really like them. Just checked under a cup to check for your question, and they are clearly marked "made in China." It's a shame. :(

Yes, it is made in Communist China. Unfortunately, I don't think there are any can openers made in the US or in Europe. However, I own this can opener and it's the best one I've ever used . . .and will likely be my last.

I had the same question and searched for months. Eventually gave up and purchased completely new cans. I suspect it is deliberate on the part of the manufacturer.

Reading the reviews it looks like someone posted in 2008 that they were USA made. However, a 1-star complaint said that they were made in china, that was in 2012. Also, all the "complaints" 1 - stars, are in late 2011 to 2012.These may not be manufactured in the USA anymore, and are now cheap.. junk.

These are made in China. I have used these for some major projects and they have worked GREAT.

I agree. I had no idea it was coming from China and am surprised that Amazon is dealing with a company that takes a month to ship. The last correspondence I had from them was that the can opener is "in customs". Good grief.

They ARE made in china, but instead of the usual garbage these are 7075 aluminum, Mil-Spec hard anodized. 1500 rds of 223 through the barrel with these on my platform and some abuse and I've yet to have an issue. Have yet to see a difference in performance between this and some of the more expensive alternatives.

Great question....I looked it up and they are made in China. Bummer about that but they do work great!

I can confirm that they are made in China, the hammer is at least. It's the only tool that says it's origin, but they still seem to be fairly good quality. Would've rather had American now that I know though, but for the price I paid I can deal with it.

Mine doesn't say made in China, where should I look because it doesn't made anywhere on mine. It just has WMF stamp. I really don't care where it is made because it works perfectly and have been reliable, small cans to large ones. Best can opener so far. Best of Luck!

Updated my original comment in 11/5/2011 to read: Love this can opener! It has been almost (2) years since I purchased it. Even though it was made in China, there is no rust, still super sharp, and works very smoothly when opening a can. The best ever! Perhaps, WMF oversees the manufacturing of this product? I don't know anything about the company being sold in 2012 but hope KKR maintains the same standards of high quality.
