Status: offline hi david e, warren and jguis,  the can spam opener? is 6 1/2" tall and 6" across handle. the round end is like a socket?   the spoon has silco stainless on the back.  the fork has the same type u s on it, but a lot heavier and has o.l. stainless on it.  thanks for looking,   rhona (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 5
