Still have mine somewhere in the house. I usually keep it on my keyring but left it home last time took a flight in case it was deemed a “weapon” and confiscated.
For the “youts” a P38 is a can opener packed with and used to open Meal Combat Individual (MCI) which were the military rations issued prior to MREs.
I still haven’t figured out how to post a picture or I would post a picture of one.

I would add a UBBCode but don’t know what that is.

The solution to any problem - work, love, money, whatever - is to go fishing, and the worse the problem, the longer the trip should be. --John Gierach ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/09/full-13-25328-gco.jpg)

I got you covered, Ranger Bill. Ha good one JC! That would be one heck of a can opener. Well done!

Have one on my key chain now. Have some extra's in case I lose it. Gave a bunch out at a rally once and didn't tell what it was. Should have heard some of the guess as to what it was for.
