The pic does show that the cans have the press fit bottom cover.
I'm not surprised that a knife blade broke because those covers are in there pretty tight.
That flange or apron on the bottom cover is up into the can by about 1/4 inch and is pressing against the bottom edges of the can.
I used a flat blade screwdriver with a blade flat enough to be tapped into the groove between the bottom cover and can but not delicate enough to snap when using a prying motion.
Just be careful how much you tilt the screwdriver to pry up because you can put a dent or kink into the bottom edge of the can.
Working around all four sides a little at a time is advisable or maybe a putty knife would work?
Those are nice speakers. I have a pair of similar EV Esquire 200's that I don't use right now but I will never part with in the event I end up in a small retirement condo or apartment. The size is right and they blow lots of newer expwnsive speakers out of the water.
