It only had cold contact with treif, if any (only if the food reaches to top of the can); no duchka de sakina was involved.

Its contact with my kosher food is also cold - if any (only if the food reaches to top of the can).

Is it okay to use it?

    Why do you say "no duchka de sakina was involved" "if the food reaches to top of the can"? If the can opener touches food, it because the cutting edge (that cuts into the can) cuts into the food, no?

    @msh210: there is no cutting. "duchka de sakina" means knife pressing food to cut it. knife touching food is not "duchka de sakina".
