What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

I carry one on my key chain. I keep it taped together ever since I sliced the dog $hit out of my finger when I stuck my hand in my pocket.

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. TSA in Albuquerque took mine years ago for that exact reason.

I got you covered, Ranger Bill. Ha good one JC! That would be one heck of a can opener. Well done! They sure opened up a can on Admiral Yamamoto in the skies over New Guinea. A can of wooparse.

Issued in 1982, most reliable can opener I’ve ever owned ,  . ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/02/full-117378-128400-11ed5ffa_db6e_43e8_b8a9_182828a8393d.jpeg)

I carry one on my key chain. I keep it taped together ever since I sliced the dog $hit out of my finger when I stuck my hand in my pocket. Never cut my finger but did stab myself in the leg once. Quit keeping it on a keychain after that. Still have a few in my tool box from 40 years ago

Carried one for a long time but carry a Swiss Army knife now and that can opener works good.

Have several, including my initial issue. It's amazing how useful it can be, with correct placement it will sever a jugular vein.
Always carry at least one.

Hope I never have to eat out of a can again. Same goes for sleeping on the ground in a bag.

Kept one in my wallet for years. Took out after airport weapon restrictions took place. Not sure where it ended up. Opened many cans with it.
