    Even though I don’t regularly use it, I’m glad I have a p38 can opener on my keychain. Just in case I end up in a survival situation, it’s good to have alongside a good keychain bottle opener. Obviously not as good as a leatherman, but for under $20, yeah, these two are worth it.

        Fair enough. Its just one of those situations I’d hate to be in (i.e. starving but have a can of food with no can opener). Food so close yet so far…

          Any knife will do for opening a can. With a bit of practice you get a clean round cut.

          But I’m not criticizing the affordable buy it for life can opener you shared with us. Really Nice thing to have.

        Oh yeah, that’s cool. I don’t know how comfortable I’d be eating out for the spoon end with the can opener blade so close to my face though, lol.

        Yeah, I solved that by wrapping the pointy end in electrical tape. Works out pretty well.
