Flic Film 35mm Film Canister Opener

The reinforced steel edge cut through my first metal canister like butter, no bending or slipping. It feels solid in hand and makes darkroom work so much less frustrating.

After fighting with a pair of pliers for years, this hardened steel opener is a revelation. The reinforced build makes opening metal cassettes in the dark effortless and precise.

For a darkroom tool, this thing feels seriously overbuilt—the hardened steel design makes opening metal cassettes effortless without any bending or slipping. It’s precise enough that even my old, stubborn rolls pop open cleanly every time.
