This little folding army can opener is a P-38.  It was designed for the army back in the 1940′s, and has become a prized piece of camping and survival gear for many.

It folds flat and can be hooked on a key chain or lanyard.  This thing feels indestructible, and it beats the heck out of my $4.00 Wal-Mart can opener.

So far I have used it to slice through the box on a new router, eviscerate the blister pack for a headlamp, and chew through the can of chick peas above.

I’m sure I’ll find lots more uses for this well designed little tool.  It just replaced my ex-girlfriend’s house key on my key change.  You see…the P-38 even helps you let go of the past.

If you want to find out much more about the P-38 I recommend you check out Georgia Outfitters.
