P38 can opener


One of my daily carry essentials, the P38 can opener. Developed in WW2, it was the standard issue can opener used to open military rations. Used all the way up until the advent of MRE's (meals ready to eat) in the early 80's. It is a much smaller, and lighter alternative to a standard can opener. It's foldable and easily stores in a wallet or on a keychain. At a price point of under a dollar you can't beat it. Pick one up on Amazon or at any military surplus retailer.
