Better than a cheap opener
I have used these openers before when I was in the military and they work fine I like them better than a cheap opener that can't grip the can and fall off.

Field Opener
Good backup for can opener bcs the new ones being made are not of any good quality anymore and break easily.

Being from the original manufacturer and MIL SPEC makes these so much better than cheaper brands.
Simply put, if you need a great can opener, the P-38 aka John Wayne as they've been called since WWII is the best for just about any can size. You can't beat it for sharpness, quality, or ease of use. This is and will always be the best value for the money when it comes to can openers. Durability of these makes any other can opener a no go. These are not only more durable, they are by far cheaper than any other household can opener. The P-51 size is for very large cans that I generally don't need this size for.

FOND MEMORIES
Very pleased the quality and the delivery time involved. O, do I remember using these when I was in Army Basic Training, especially out in the field. If you wanted to open any canned rations these were about the only way in which you could do it. They were also known as P-38's then, and they still call them that. They come in handy, as they are small and don't take up hardly any space and extremely portable and very study. And thank-you for including the beaded chains to go with them.

The Shelby Secret Weapon Against Sealed Goods
These little US Shelby can openers – the P-38 and its slightly bigger sibling, the P-51 – feel like they mean business. Solid stainless steel, stamped with that classic 'US Shelby Co.' mark, they're a no-nonsense pair. Forget fancy gadgets; these are the real deal. The included chains keep them handy, ready to tackle a can whether you're camping or just need a reliable opener in your kitchen drawer. They even pull double duty as a makeshift flathead in a pinch. Simple, robust, and with a touch of that old-school military vibe – these aren't just can openers, they're tiny tools built to last.
