A can opener includes a pair of handles, a traction wheel, and a cutter blade for removing a lid of a can. An operating knob is supported at one side of the can opener and rotates about an axis transverse to a central axis of a can being opened. The knob is coupled by step-down gearing to the traction wheel. For a left-handed user, the knob is mounted on the opposite side of the can opener.
