I always have a problem opening Klner jars, the type with a glass lid.
Releasing the vacuum can be a PITA, the problem is one can easily chip
the lid or bottle rim. Has anyone found an easy fool proof way of
opening them?

Not in this country, but when I was in Germany at a fleamarket there was
something to be bought for 1 euro to do just that. No-one knew what it
was for until my German friend asked what it was, and then she bought it
for herself;-)
So there is a special thingie.
It's called a 'butterknife'.

No, it was not called a butterknife. It was a special implement
for just that purpose. Which, as I said, I haven't seen here.

It's always been a butterknife. If one can't be found, or is nesting in
the butter, one has to be very careful not to bend the table knife.
