The Can Opener - Old-Fashioned is a simple metal can opener. It opens canned food safely and can be used as a weak one-handed stabbing weapon. As a weapon it trains the Short Blade skill. Its damage is very low and its reach is short.
Its value lies in the kitchen. It opens every kind of canned food, including unlabeled cans and water rations. It is found in kitchens, living rooms, break rooms and offices. The best occupations for short blades are the Burger Flipper, the Chef and the Doctor. Each starts with the same Short Blade skill.
Combat
The Can Opener - Old-Fashioned stabs at very close range. Each hit deals very little damage, so even one zombie takes many stabs. The critical chance is 10 percent, and a crit triples the damage. Higher Short Blade skill raises damage and crit chance, but it stays a poor weapon. Any kitchen knife does the job better. Fight with it only when nothing else is at hand.
Uses
The Can Opener - Old-Fashioned opens canned food. It works on every canned food in the game, such as beans, soup, chili, fruit and tuna. It also opens unlabeled cans, dented unlabeled cans and water ration cans. Keep one in the kitchen or the bag, since canned food is one of the safest long-lasting foods.
Used in Crafting
Any recipe that asks for a can opener accepts it as the tool, such as Open Water Ration Can, Open Unlabeled Can and Open Dented Unlabeled Can.
Repair
The Can Opener - Old-Fashioned has 10 condition. At low skill it loses a point on about 1 hit in 2 when used as a weapon. The Short Blade skill and the Maintenance skill both lower that chance. Using it as a weapon wears down the tool that opens the food.
