If you are talking about a hand held manual can opener then the fulcrum would be the rim of the can against which you engage the little notch before you exert pressure upwards on the handle to open the can.

What is the word fulcrum mean?
The fulcrum is that point where a lever is fastened to a stable point. Usually it is in the middle of the lever (as when you pry the lid of a paint can) but it can be at the end (as in the case of a bottle opener). When the fulcrum is at the end, the force that results is in the same direction as the force you apply; you lift up on the bottle opener and it lifts the bottle cap up. When the fulcrum is in the middle, the resulting force is in the opposite direction to the force you apply; you push down on the prybar and the paint can lid goes up.

no it is in fact a first class lever because a see-saw is first class and this is basically a see saw except instead of a handle on each side there is 2 on one side so therefore its a first class but people think it is a second class because of scissors but this a scissors have a difference and that difference it that when using scissors when you move one handle, it moves on the other side of the fulcrum but with a can opener the handles make the actual metal that opens the can move not just the same thing but on the other side
