My funnel isn't a canning funnel then, because the bottom opening isn't that wide. But it doesn't have a handle on it. And the top opening is wider than any funnel I've seen.

A regular funnel has a very small-in-circumference opening at the bottom, maybe less than an inch, whereas a canning funnel has an opening at the bottom wide enough to fit into the top of a mason jar.
