A can opener of the type in which the can is opened by cutting through an outer part of the rim joining the lid with the main body of the can. Cam means are arranged to engage outside wall of the can immediately beneath the rim, the engagement underneath the rim moving the cam means and cutter wheel against resilient means to a position such that the cutter wheel makes its cut at a substantially constant predetermined distance on the rim. The drive wheel can have an outer cylindrical surface which is toothed and its lower edge bevelled or chamfered. To reduce friction, the shaft supporting the drive wheel may be journaled within a metal sleeve supported by the body of the can opener, the outer surface of the shaft and the inner surface of the sleeve mate at positions adjacent the ends of the sleeve so as to provide good rotational support for the shaft and intermediate those positions a gap being provided between the outer surface of the shaft and the inner surface of he sleeve to avoid contact between the shaft and sleeve. The cutter wheel may be supported by an arcuate support wall during cutting.
