Kuhn Rikon makes those now. You can get one for about $15 on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002BQNR6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_K06IBb3XTQWYA
It costs a bit more than a conventional can opener, but it’s very solidly built and does indeed make a good temporary lid out of the top of the can. Great for storing half a can of food in the fridge for a few days to use it up. No sharp edges ever.
I like the cut from the side variety.

TESTING NOTES
WINNER:
Magnetic Locking Can Opener by Oxo - $19.99
> This can opener was intuitive to use and easy to attach and detach from cans. It was "comfortable," "very smooth," and very efficient in operation. Because it is a traditional opener, this model leaves a lid with sharp edges (its only downfall), but minimizes potential danger with a magnet that allows "neat and safe" lid disposal.
3 others were also RECOMMENDED:
> Testers praised the handy "change in feeling" once the can was completely open. The "dishwasher-safe claim was spot-on: There were no changes in performance or appearance after several wash cycles. A few testers has mild complaints about the "awkward position" of the oversized turning knob, resulting in a slight demerit in the performance rating.
> The unique ratchet cutting wheel mechanism was "easy to operate" and comfortable, but was "hard to know when finished." Pincers disposed of the cut lid safely. For some testers, the instructions for this opener were "not obvious," even with visuals on the packaging.
> "Clearly written instructions" and "smooth gears" made this opener easy and efficient as first use. Also, testers appreciated the "perceptible change in feeling" when the can opener had rounded the entire can. This model lost a few points for not having a lid-gripper.
