Questions & Answers

Is the can opener made of stainless steel or plastic?

No, the CanOpeners are made of heat-treated steel, with the exception of the key rings, which are made of stainless steel.

So, what exactly is the distinction?

Both the P 38 and the P 51 are excellent for opening cans in outdoor survival/camping situations, but the P 51 has a slightly larger size that gives you a little more leverage when opening larger cans. Elusive Treasures, thank you for your inquiry.

Is there a way to open ten cans with this can opener? If not, what can opener for 10 cans and manual opening for canned goods is available?

That big of a can is probably too big for the P38 to open. Because military cooks used the P51 to feed a large number of people, I believe it would work just fine. You can learn more about the P38 and P51 by going to Google and doing some research. There are numerous applications for both, in addition to simply opening cans.

Will you be able to bring this on a plane with you?

There is a list of items that airlines do not allow on board. Check to see what's going on or give us a call and we'll answer any questions you might have.

Fieldcraft in Vietnam is a term used to describe the skills required to work in the fields in Vietnam In my experience, the other G has never been mentioned
4/5

ration P- I've always been content with the standard P-. During the Vietnam War, I recall hearing G. 's would put the P- in front of the P-. 38 on their Canine companions Tag chains were used to ensure that field rations could always be opened. Especially because C- Only a few P-cards were included in the ration cases. The case has a total of 38 people involved. Because the majority of FNGs would be stripped of their P-, In the field, there are 38 people. The vets had their P-cards with them at all times. The FNGs would have to lean over to use the Vet's opener because the 38's were wearing their Dog Tags. Vets would not allow their P- to be used in any way. While on the field, the 38s were taken out of their possession. The main reason for this is that the FNGs would always misplace their own. Until they figured out how to work in the field.

After being washed, it had rusted
3/5

It's of good quality, but after washing, they rusted; I assumed they were stainless steel, but I guess the only stainless steel in the description is the key ring.

It's the same as the original
5/5

My 7-year-old grandson has been informed about the P-word. In order to eat while in the bush, you must be 38 years old. Yes, he was correct. I placed an order for the set but only showed him the P- He's a scout, so he reasoned, "If it works, it'll be great for camping. " He struggled at first, but eventually managed to open the can. The P- was then given to him. 51 and said, "Now go ahead and give it a shot. " He was enamored with both of them and refused to return them. He instructs his associates to use the P-word. 38 When they're finished, he pulls out the P- 51 and claims that his is a lot easier. br>br>As for the other set, I assumed it was mine, but it was actually claimed by my Granddaughter.

Can opener that fits in your pocket
5/5

It does exactly what it says on the tin: it opens cans instantly. However, if you put it on your key ring and then put your keys in your pocket or purse, you'll need to tape the cutter because it doesn't lay flat against the body and can cut/poke you very easily. As a result, I recommend putting it in your wallet so that this doesn't happen (lesson learned the hard way).

Always start with a bang
4/5

The only way they could be improved is if they were made of stainless steel. br>br>I've gone through a lot of can openers (manual, electric, low-cost, high-cost)br>P- The number 38 The number 51 is simply an opener that NEVER FAILS. I can still use them with ease, even with my (now, occasionally useless) hands. Keeping one with you at all times (in your car) It is essential to have a home emergency kit. br>br>I misplaced the one I'd had for several decades. I think these will last a couple of months. 👍🏻.

Older people should avoid it
3/5

Made for young soldiers in the field, as well as older people with a touch of arthritis and other previous injuries, such as e. Tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome will be a problem. It would be beneficial if they could include that warning in the description to assist people in making the best decision possible. I no longer have carpal tunnel syndrome, but I felt it return as I manipulated the can open. It would undoubtedly assist if they were longer.

I'm grateful for the two-size variety pack
5/5

I bought it as a safety net and a source of entertainment. It comes out on top on both counts. I keep some in my car and some at work (the can opener was stolen). FYI: Check out this video on how to open a can with a driveway, a butter knife, or a metal spoon. The driveway method is something I haven't tried yet. br>br>The larger opener is easier to use, though both are, but believe me when I say you will open the can very quickly. y, until you have accumulated sufficient skill and courage to go faster.

It's well worth the money, and it'll open cans for years to come
5/5

I bought it in case America went haywire. I'm in the middle of nowhere, and I'm able to open the can I've been stockpiling! If you're doing the same, make sure to include canned fruits so that even when you're only eating rice, you're getting enough fat.
