It will work, no frills, you know how ...

Review by Keepshooting Customer

You get what you pay for. They work. Nothing fancy, but do what they were made to do, work. The picture shows one of the can openers laying flat. It is actually about 1/8" thick and you would have to hit it on something to flatten it. But they work and that is what matters. Also I have tried all 4 openers, and all are able to open 2-1/2# Campbell's Chunky tomato soup cans. I got this set for camping. The P-51 model may work better but I wanted to save weight. I would still carry the P-51 if it weighed less than this model. I just don't think it does. Overall for the price you can't go wrong with these and the extra set is good insurance. It has been tested!

Exactly as pictured.

They work just as advertised. Very compact. Just don't lose them because it will be hard to replace them in some parts of the world. I use them for scouting and as part of a personal survival kit.

Military grade

Review by Keepshooting Customer

Military P-38 are larger and more solid than the regular 38g P-38s you get from Army-Navy. It comes pretty dull, but the knife edge works to put an edge on the blade if needed.

Survival kit staple. Works.

Review by Keepshooting Customer

Survival/camper/sailors best friend. A bit smaller than i was anticipating, about the size of a quarter. I put them on the d-rings of my pouch for fast and easy access.

Very handy

Review by Keepshooting Customer

Exactly as pictured. Can be a bit tricky at first to use, as this type of can opener is not commonly used, however it will eventually become easier to use. The materials used feel like durable metal and not cheap plastic. Very handy for camping, backpacking, bug out bag, etc. A very worthwhile addition.
