#238 is actually called a P38. It is a can opener that came about WWII and
the Korean War for opening those infamous rations. They even ended up being
given out along with some canned good in the stores at one time......
I may even still have one or two around here some place....

Right in between a .45ACP cartridge and the wooden fob, which before it
got so worn, could easily be seen to read "WTF". SWMBO and I have a
matching pair of those which we got a guy at a crafts fair to make for
us on the spot about 15 years ago. I remember telling the carver we
wanted to remember my dead uncle Willam Thomas Feinbaum. If you look
close you'll see where I epoxied in a brass bushing when the hole in the
wood got worn dangerously large.

Needless to say all my keys save one for the car stay behind when taking
a commercial flight or entering a court building.
