P-38 Can Opener & P-51 Can Opener with Chains, US Shelby, Stainless Steel openers Stamped with US Shelby Co.

These can openers are compact, durable, and work surprisingly well. The stainless steel construction feels sturdy, and the included chains make them easy to attach to a keychain, backpack, or emergency kit. They're lightweight, take up almost no space, and are perfect for camping, hiking, preparedness supplies, or everyday carry. A classic design that has stood the test of time. Great quality and excellent value!

Product as described. Just what I expected. Works well. Don't have to worry about cheap can openers stripped gears or electrity.

Works like a charm! 🙂

These are virtually identical to the p-38's and p-51's originally included with military combat rations (c-rats). Simple to use. Deceptively rugged and versatile. Either style fits behind a dog tag. Or on a key ring. Or in a wallet. These are not the same as the newer rim-seal breaking openers. They do leave jagged edges. However, with a little common sense and normal caution, that is not an issue. These are a valuable addition to emergency supply kits.

4 star, the chains do not clasp. The small one is for my key chain and the larger one is a back up for the electric can opener. Easy to use and last a long time. I used to have the one with the butterfly handle and it got lost camping. This one is easier without the handle.

My P38 was lost and I wanted to replace it. This one works fine. I never had the P51 but I figured why not . They work just like the one that came in C rats. If you know, you know .

Old item but works perfectly.

Love it use it when I can find my can opener

This is what I had been looking for, as it's convience in carrying for travel or picnic.

The P-38 was so small and would probably make a great barter item because it came in a set. The P-51 is the size I’m used to using with Coghlan’s can opener I keep in the kitchen and in a hiking bag. I like that these won’t rust though my Coghlan’s one hasn’t yet either with some use and washing. Great to have in every kit. Will be buying some more Coghlan’s ones directly from their website @ 3.99CAD for 2 (excludes shipping) and these ones which are cheaper in Canada on adventureprozone.ca but shipping would have to be added. So for convenience of not making this an add on item at a steal this was a great price I guess but I will be buying only P-51s from now on elsewhere because if I buy on Amazon I get a P-38 which I find too small (though I’m sure it works just as well). Anyway that’s my two cents.

The larger one works better, I found myself struggling a bit using the smaller one. It would slide rather than cut after the initial puncture is made. If the can is thinner the small blade works just fine. But the larger blade is so much easier to use for cans of any size, it is my go-to. I rinse it off and let it hang and air dry, no rust so far. Comes with a coating of grease so you may want to wipe it down and give it a wash before using it. Very handy!

I have one of these hanging off everything, my keyring, my backpack, camping gear, everything, they work and work well. Believe me, bottle openers are useless, you don't need one for opening bottles but can openers? Sure some cans have pull tops but most do not. Sure you can open a can with a knife BUT, you can also slice your hand open. These are a must if you are a prepper or into emergency supplies.

Great
