After raising over $200,000 via crowdfunding in Japan and selling more than 10,000 units in about a year, the DAVI Can Opener launched on Indiegogo. This can opener sets itself apart with a patented mechanism that fully opens the lids of beverage cans so that they can be used like a drinking glass. Some of the reasons that this unique can opener caught on in Asia is that it allows users to better experience the aromas of drinks and the sharpness of the carbonation within cans.
Although can openers for canned beverages have been created before, there have been issues with sharp edges that could potentially cut skin and lids that fall straight into the liquid. The DAVI Can Opener solves these problems with a design that's easy to use, safe and hygienic.
