The P-38, developed in 1942,[1] is a small can opener that was issued in the canned field rations of the United States Armed Forces from World War II to the 1980s. Originally designed for and distributed in the K-ration, it was later included in the C-ration. As of 2013, it's still in production and sold on a worldwide market for around .75 cents or cheaper. Super easy to use too.
