Default Can anyone recommend a good manual can opener?

Not the "smooth edge" kind that lifts off the lid; just the old-fashioned kind that cuts the lid from the can.

I have been going crazy looking for reviews on Amazon and the net, and there seems to be something wrong with every one of them. Some that used to get rave reviews (such as Pampered Chef) seem to be not so good anymore because of design changes. My dh picked up the one we currently have (KitchenAid) at Walmart and it soon developed problems.

I'd like a can opener that will last at least a year! Specifically, I want one that does not leave the annoying 1/16th of an inch gap in the can so I have to pry the lid open with a knife. I want one that makes a clean cut. It would be great if it lifts the lid off for me, but that's not an absolute necessity.

Anyone have one that has lasted at least half a year they can recommend?
