Questions & Answers

Are these made of tough metal? They're not going to bend when we use them, are they?

They're fantastic. This item is extremely durable. Outstanding craftsmanship!

Is this a stainless steel product?

The Shelby Company in the United States manufactures them. They're made of metal. There's no indication that they're made of stainless steel anywhere. I hope this has been of assistance.

Will they make contact with a ferro rod?

I was unable to get it to strike a ferro rod successfully. Without a spark, I scraped off a lot of material. They're good backup lightweight can openers for a camping or bugout kit, but don't expect them to be your striker.

Is this a U.S. product? or a Chinese knock-off Are we back to offs?

They are not cheap, but they are of high quality. There aren't any made-in items that I can see. Except for the US Shield Company's name, no other designation exists.

Selected User Reviews For 10 Pack Survival Kit Can Opener, Military, P-51 Model

Only 2 out of 20 are clearly marked as genuine US SHELBY CO openers
3/5

The majority of the openers are stamped incorrectly or illegibly. Are these KnockOffs, of which only two out of twenty have the US SHELBY CO Label legibly stamped? br>The two well-marked ones I tried, as well as one other open can, worked fine. The P38 opener came with the C- rifle when I was in the army. Each one was clearly marked as a US SHELBY CO product, which is disappointing because they do not comply with MILSPEC markings. KnockOffs vs. Seconds.

This is a fantastic item to include in homeless outreach bags! I began including these as an option in food and necessity boxes for those in need who may or may not be living in cars or backpacks
5/5

Many people appreciate having these because the majority of the food bank boxes contain cans, and traditional can openers can be cumbersome and heavy to carry when walking. This is something you can put in your wallet right away!.

Can do a lot more than a military grade can
5/5

opener - a low-cost multitool for your keychain! It takes some skill to open cans with these can openers. It takes some practice to get the hang of it, but once you do, they're simple to use. Sure, it's not as simple as using a large, bulky can opener (though it's still easier than some of the others I've used). But it's a lot easier than opening a can with a knife; as the old saying goes, it's all in the wrist. br>br>Using them to remove a flat head screw, trim fishing line, cut twine, and so on is also simple once you get the hang of it. When you consider it, there are numerous applications for these. br>br>These ones, in particular, were of exceptional quality. I'm quite taken aback! The blade is plenty sharp to cut right through a tin can, and the hinge is strong to keep the blade where it belongs. The metal is thick so they won't bend and stainless so they won't rust. br>br>They're also a great deal at the price! I kept one on my keychain, one in my kitchen drawer, one in my tackle box, and one in each glove box, as well as giving a few to friends. They're a hit with everyone, and I didn't spend more than a buck on them. RECOMMENDED WITHOUT RESERVE!.

The only can opener you'll ever need
5/5

We have three different can openers in our kitchen right now because they don't seem to keep their integrity for very long. As you work around the can, they cease to puncture or skip. I bought a bunch of these because they are always reliable. Sure, they're not as smooth and leave dangerous edges, but all you have to do is be careful when using them. The point is that they always work, so we keep a pack of ten in the kitchen for when I can't stand dealing with a broken can opener any longer.

This is fantastic
5/5

I keep one in each glove box, as well as in my work lunchbox and at my desk. 4br>I keep one in the kitchen drawer next to my large hand crank can opener, just in case a bent can won't cooperate. operate. 5br>I gave one to my mother, who is in her eighties. She can easily use it for those small sections that an automatic opener may not be able to cut loose. 6br>I gave one to each of my two best friends. 8br>Gave one to my boss to keep in the office supply cabinet with party plates, forks, and other supplies. 9br>There is still one available. These are more effective than the can opener on my Swiss Tinker knife, which I carry on a daily basis. br>That's quite a compliment!.

easy to use Before getting this, we mostly used those big bulky can openers with the plastic handles that kept breaking, but I got these, put a couple of those keychain loops on them, and scattered them around the kitchen with my own wallet, and we may still use the big bulky style from time to time, but if one of those fails or gets misplaced, there's one dangling right over the kitchen sink, and they're so cheap you can get an assload of them and not have to worry

I've had the p31 GI can opener for nearly 50 years and it's a great product
5/5

The P51 is nothing more than a bigger version of the P50. These can openers are superior to most manual can openers in terms of performance and durability. I keep one on my keychain and have used it numerous times. These P51 can openers appear to be well-made and will last for a long time. This is a high-quality product, and the delivery was on time. This is a product that I would buy again.

These are the most incredible can openers ever devised! Other comments have been made that I agree with
5/5

After about six months of daily can opening, the hook begins to wear out, making it more difficult to open the cans. Since I have excellent finger strength, I've been able to make one that will last a year; However, it is now very difficult to open the cans. I wish they were made of a more durable material. br> However, because they are so inexpensive, it is not a major issue. br>br>The P- is the perfect size for my large hands. The number 51 is preferable, but the P- Having a number like 38 on hand is still beneficial. br> These are still the most effective can openers ever devised! Keep a pair in your glove box, on your keychain, in the kitchen, and anywhere else you might need one. They can also be used as a screwdriver in an emergency. Use a safety pin of size 1 to keep the blade from opening. These are some examples:
