The humble P-38
I know there isn't much need of a can opener these days but I'm curious:
1) Did you ever or do still have one?
2) If you still have one do you carry it regularly or use it often?
3) Besides opening a can with it, what else have you done with your P-38 can opener?
( This came up because a few of us were discussing the combo tool on the Wenger Swiss Army Knife and the discussion migrated to just how good the P-38 compared to the can opener blade on knives.)

Tobias, sounds like you were a soldier who could make things happen and get things done.

I have some of the larger P-38's, I love it. Does it have a different # because it's larger than the standard size? I wonder who invented it, the Army or Marine's? Or who ever.

The larger ones are called P-51s.
