(It should be noted, that with the exception of a nice German set of 3 cooking knives that we recieved as a wedding present, we don't actually have any non-everyday, non-cheap silverware.)

I have to admit I have never used one to slice open an aluminum can, but I have used them many times on those damned plastic packages that can't be opened any other way besides cutting them apart, and they go through them like butter.

On the balance, this is probably a Good Thing.

I have wondered if these are any good.
