Do you have one? Question from The other P-38 | Bring the heat, Bring the Stupid

p-38_can_opener.jpg


I would love to get my hands on one.
 
We have several....... : )) One lives by the candles 'n' matches, right next to the bottled water and the camp stove.
 
Like everything else in the Military the little tool is made for right handed use only. Being left handed I quickly learned to adapt to open C-rats or starve. I haven't lost my touch in all those years. I can open a can faster with the little tool than my wife can with a modern can-opener.
 
I'm a lefty and couldn't use a left-handed can opener to save my life. LOL

The reason is of course that lefties are smarter and more adaptable than righties and besides, there are no left handed can openers.
 
I have one on my keychain

Opens cans, screwdriver, pry tool, cut string

Paid 40 cents for it ten years ago
 
i'm left handed also ,but I never had a problem using the p 38 !! I had one but I can't find the thing, need to go to an ARMY surplus and get another ...a must have !!
 
Been one on my key chain for more than 40 years.

Growing up with 6 (count 'em, six) right-handed siblings was a bit of a challenge.
That, and being the middle child provided for quite the neurotic upbringing. :D
