The one my son used was a pop top with a tab that you pop, like a can of soda, and then peel back.

I use a can opener that cuts through the top, and then you twist the knob and it cuts around. How do you open the can without making any cuts?

Even in mine, you need to twist the knob and it "cuts" around. But the cut is not the same as in regular opener.The teeth of the cutter are very fine (it is not that circular sharp disc). It removes it from the periphery of the top lid and you cannot even see the cut. My cutter is from "good cook" which you can get in walmart. It is impossible to get cuts from the partially opened tin with this opener.

Good one:
