The P-51 can opener is still in the military inventory and is currently assigned NSN 7330-01-289-8827.  The P-51 is somewhat obscure and elusive because military Mobile Kitchen Trailers (MKT) are currently issued a counter top mounted, hand crank, rotary, can opener and a Opener, Can, Hand, For Tray Packs and Round Cans (A-A-52202) as standard issue.
P-51 derived it's name from the fact that it took approximately 51 twists to sever the lid from a commercial No. 10 can. Which comes in handy by the way when
the power is out.
Keep it where: In the first aid kit, in the tool box, in the lunch box, in the glove box, in the kitchen drawer, in the office desk, in the garage, in the backpack, on the keyring, in a wallet, in your dorm room, some in the kitchen drawer, with you bugout bag, and so many more
Great item for the kids camper troops,
great inexpensive veteran gift
What have I used mine on: boxes, my car battery as a screw driver when I needed a flat head and didn't have one, letter opening, string cutter, nylon band cutter, tape off a box, strip wire, scrap objects, cut plastic shrink wrap off packages on bottles.
Saves your keys from being used as tools. Just like you were always told not to do.
Designed to open cans but it also works to cut open plastic bottles, bags of all kinds and packaging on hard to open packages etc.   camping, as part of an emergency kit. Portable and easy to use. Hold long ways up and down with small blade hooked over edge of the can and rock back and forth around lid of can. Great item to have around when the power goes out too. These are no longer issued to the troops so they also make great gifts to the guys overseas not one soldier has ever complained about these when it comes to opening those MRE BAGS. Note: Vets have told me different stories of where they would hide these. In the past soldiers would hide a can opener in there boot seam or under the lining of their shoe, or wore them between there dog tags as an escape tool. This is the all time best ever invented simple emergency tool.
