I believe there is a type of can opener that cuts around the cylindrical
body of a can, immediately below the end seam "bead". That is, it does not
cut out a disk of metal from the top/end of the can, leaving the end seam
in place on the body (which I think is fairly standard and typical).

Does anybody know if this "other" type of can opener has a special name to
refer to it??
