Can opener. In all honesty I just use a knife. Just chew twice as much to help the metal slivers go down!

There are websites devoted to the uses of the P38.
It is rather amazing what they can be used for.
I disassembled a steering column with one myself at 0300 hrs in a parking lot when my lock tumblers fell apart.
BTW don’t carry a lot of weight on your key-chain…
And many other times it has come in useful.

It is an amazing little tool.
I do carry one on my key-chain too.

Use one several times a week. On my key chain and in every survival box.

I have one from the last case of "C"s I ever opened still on my key ring today.
Ive cleaned fish with it.

Since victor charlie liked to climb trees, and we had 100s of them, we would dip the blades in human doo-doo, and stick them in trees that were used for lookouts or sniping. Since a lot of them did not wear shoes, or long pants, when they climbed the trees, they would get nicked, infected, then die quietly in the jungle somewhere.

Like I keep saying, Until my generation is so feeble they can not right, a civil war of invasion
is not going to go well for the other side.
