The listing, NEW P-38 MILITARY CAN OPENER "JOHN WAYNE" has ended.

Up for auction is this New P-38 (also known as a John Wayne) Military Can Opener.
The P-38, developed in 1942, is a small can opener that was issued in the canned field rations of the United States Armed Forces. It was used in World War II, Korea, and Viet Nam. Originally designed for and distributed in the K-ration, it was later included in the C-ration. It came wrapped in Kraft paper packets with a diagram and directions how to use it(see illustration above). I used these for C-rations from 1967-1970 in the Army. I carried one of these in my pocket for many years after and then lost the original with my keys back in the late 90s. It Never rusted and never wore out. Amazing little can opener! Great for camping, scouting, and survivalists. Free Shipping!!!
