GI P38 Can Opener

Features

1. Genuine GI Specification — Built to the same U.S. military pattern issued with C-Rations from WWII through the 1980s.
2. Compact 1.5-Inch Profile — Folds flat to roughly 1.5 inches (38mm) long, slipping easily into a pocket, pack, or ration kit.
3. Stamped Steel Construction — One-piece steel body with a folding carbon-steel cutting blade for fast, reliable can opening.
4. Notched Hook Design — Locks onto the rim of the can and "walks" around the lid with a simple twist-and-bite motion.
5. Lanyard Hole — Punched hole accepts a keychain, dog tag chain, or paracord loop so it stays with you in the field.
6. Boil-Sterilizable — Per the original mil-spec, the lanyard hole allows the opener to be suspended in boiling water for sterilization.
7. Multi-Use Field Tool — Doubles as a flathead screwdriver, seam ripper, box cutter, and bottle pry for everyday utility.
8. Featherweight Carry — Weighs next to nothing, making it standard kit for bug-out bags, survival tins, mess kits, and EDC keychains.
9. Proven Combat Heritage — Famously nicknamed the "John Wayne" by GIs and considered one of the Army's most enduring small inventions.
