P-38 ( Small ) & P-51 ( Large ) Sizes

Original GI Issue

Don't let it's small size and low price fool you. These handy P-38 can openers were issued by the U.S. military for decades. Growing up, these were always popular with Boy Scouts and travelers. These are brand new, nice and shiny. We have opened giant #10 industrial cans with them. It's not the fastest can opener you have ever used but we feel confident saying, it's probably the smallest. 

A Trivia Note: The P-38 Can opener got its name because it took 38 movements to open a standard military C-Rations can. Having canned food for an emergency does you no good if you can't get in to it.

Just Buy a Few

For the record, I haven’t bought these from CountyComm, but I want to tell everyone to just buy a few of these bad boys. I have carried a P38 on my keychain for over a decade, just like my dad had, and it has come in very handy on multiple occasions. While these are technically just can openers, they can do so much more. I’ve used mine to split tape, as a pry bar, **** driver, and of course, a can opener (as intended). One thing to note is that these will patina over time and turn black. If you do keep these on your keys, just be aware that the blade can pop open and bite you if you’re not careful. Otherwise there is no reason for not buying several of these and giving them to everyone in your family to keep with their keys. Working in an office, it was pretty funny to hand it to someone needing a can opener, only for them to look at me confused.

Replacement from 1990's military

Got both sizes. Replacement for military issues from the 90's. I hope these last as long.

Haven’t had one since having C-rations. Looks and works just like they use to. Memory’s

Old standby

A friend returned from a camping trip where his wife didn't pack an opener and he resorted to a screwdriver. These will go in his bags now. Never fail.
