Lever: (2) the hand-grips and the turning handle.
Wheel: (3) the gears that drive the blade, and the gear that turns the can
Wedge: the blade.
The traditional list of simple machines is:
The inclined plane (N)
The wheel and axle (O)
The lever (T)
The pulley (U)
The wedge (V [single wedge]; X [double wedge])
The screw (Y)

That depends upon the can opener. There are many different types now including electric and automatic. If you are referring to the most simple or primitive one, it consists of a wedge and a lever. They only get more complex from there. The next up consists of levers, wheels, and wedges.

The simpliest tool on a can opener is an inclined plane.
