P-38 Can Opener

“The Army’s Greatest Invention!”

The P-38 Can Opener is the classic folding military can opener developed during WWII and used through the Vietnam War. It’s clearly one of the handiest devices ever created! Soldiers often wore these around their necks with their dog tags and many veterans still carry one today. The P-38 is no longer issued due to the military’s switch from canned rations to MREs, but it remains a popular item with veterans and civilians alike. Our can openers are from the Vietnam era. Will open any can with a rim. Perfect for emergency use and is a must for every survival kit. Also great for camping, hiking, hunting or fishing. Note: The can opener can differ slightly in appearance. Made in the USA.
