A can opener is provided having a motor and a can moving system. The motor has a drive shaft. The can moving system is connected to the drive shaft and has a drive wheel for directly contacting and moving a can. The drive wheel shaft is connected to the drive wheel along a first axis of rotation. The drive shaft has a worm gear section that connects the drive shaft to the can moving system. The drive shaft is oriented along a second axis of rotation generally orthogonal to the first axis of rotation. A combined can opener and knife sharpener has a knife sharpener wheel connected to an opposite end of the drive shaft for rotation about the second axis. The knife sharpener wheel is oriented in a plane generally perpendicular to a front face of the housing.
