I still have - and use - my P-38 - from my last case of C-Rats in RVN.
It still works great!



The hole in mine finally wore to the point it broke and fell off my
key ring. OTOH, a gernade ring was probably too big for it, anyway.

You're right about the P38, though. It, and the classic Swingaway
manual can opener are the two best I've ever used. Mine was from cold
weather survival training in Alaska, in the '70s. Once you got the can
open, you had to thaw it out before you could eat whatever was inside.
Except the crackers. A slight breeze, and they turned to dust and blew
away.
