U.S. Shelby Co P-51 Can Opener

The P-38 can opener, widely known as a "John Wayne," is a compact, durable, and multi-functional tool originally developed for military use. Its minimalist design makes it lightweight and easy to carry, fitting comfortably on a keychain or in a pocket. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, it features a sharp cutting edge for opening cans efficiently, a built-in flathead screwdriver, and a simple, foldable design for safe storage. Perfect for camping, survival kits, or everyday utility, the P-38 is a timeless tool known for its reliability and versatility. The P-51 is the big brother to the P-38 Can Opener. About twice the size of the P-38 but about twice as easy to use due to it's larger handle.

• Consists of a short metal handle, with a small, hinged metal tooth that folds out to pierce the can lid. A notch just under the hinge point keeps the opener hooked around the rim of the can as the device is "walked" around to cut the lid out.

• Designed with a built-in hole for hanging on a string or wire, making it easy to sanitize by dipping it in boiling water.
