THE LOST ART OF THE ARMY CAN OPENER !!!

I also remember that there is a larger version of the P38 and I can't remember what they were called.  Now those you rarely see at all.  I also remember that we also use to call the P38 a "John Wayne" too.

Just a warning....they will cut through jeans if you bend over just right!!!

The Ol' P38

I keep one in my survival pack and on my key ring.

Ive got some layin around. A mom and pops store near me sold them for the longest time. I wonder if they still have them?

Maybe the other was a p51. Seen that when searching for the p38.

You are correct.... P51 is the larger opener.

Thank You

I'D HATE TO SEE THE P51 ON A KEY RING............. IT WOULD CUT YOUR LEG OFF !!!

I usually have to smash it with a rock.  That is a lot cleaner.
