P51 Can Opener

The 5ive Star Gear P-51 Can Opener is a faithful reproduction of the classic GI-issue military can opener first fielded in 1942 and carried in U.S. ration kits through the 1980s. At a full 2 inches long, the P-51 delivers more leverage and a faster cut than its smaller P-38 cousin, with a folding hinged blade and a keyring hole for easy carry. The flat edge works double duty as a screwdriver, seam ripper, or general field tool. Drop one in your bug-out bag, camping kit, tackle box, or junk drawer — it's the kind of simple, failure-proof gear that always earns its keep.

Features

  1. Authentic GI P-51 Design — Exact copy of the original military can opener first developed in 1942 and issued with U.S. Armed Forces field rations through the 1980s.
  2. 2-Inch Body Length — Full 51mm (roughly 2") frame gives you nearly twice the leverage of the smaller P-38, so cans open faster with less thumb fatigue.
  3. Folding Hinged Blade — Sharp cutting tooth folds flat against the handle for safe pocket, pack, or mess kit storage.
  4. Lightweight Metal Construction — Stamped steel build adds almost no weight to your kit while standing up to repeated hard use.
  5. Keyring Hole — Punched hole at the end lets you hang it from dog tags, a keyring, zipper pull, or paracord lanyard.
  6. Multi-Use Tool — Flat edge doubles as an emergency screwdriver, seam ripper, box cutter, or groove cleaner in the field.
  7. Mil-Spec Pattern — Built to the same specification used in C-rations and tray rations, with the simple, failure-proof geometry that earned the design its reputation.
  8. EDC and Survival Ready — Slim profile slips into a wallet, bug-out bag, glove box, tackle box, or camping mess kit without taking up space.

    This P51 is exactly like the ones my grandpa used to talk about from the army. It opens modern cans without any issues and takes up almost no space in my pocket. It is a must-have for any bugout bag or emergency supply kit.
