Product Overview
Canned food is only useful in your kit if you have a way to open it. The Rothco G.I. Type P-51 Can Opener gives you a compact tool for that job without taking up the space of a kitchen can opener. At approximately 2 inches long, it fits easily into a camping kit, tackle box, or emergency bag.
A little more length, a little less effort
The P-51 is larger than the classic P-38 can opener. That extra length provides more leverage, reducing the thumb pressure needed as you work around a can. If you like the small size of this style of opener but want more leverage than a P-38 offers, the P-51 is worth considering.
Its stainless steel construction suits a tool kept with outdoor supplies, while the lightweight, low-profile design makes it easy to find room for one alongside your food or cooking equipment. For camping, backpacking, or hunting trips that include canned meals, it handles a straightforward but important part of meal preparation.
- Material: Stainless steel.
- Length: Approximately 2 inches.
- Attachment: Hole accommodates a keychain or dog tag chain.
The attachment hole gives you an alternative to storing the opener loose in a bag: keep it on a keychain or dog tag chain where you can locate it when needed. It also makes sense to store one with the canned goods in an emergency kit, so your food and the tool needed to open it stay together.
