Still...I always try to keep a P 38 around. They come in handy for the strangest things including opening cans.

But as I get older...it is a bit harder on my wrist. Yup....time catches up with us.

I am thinking about upgrading to a P-51 can opener.

Thanks for your time in country.

Was in from 68 to 73 . 82nd 68 to 70 ; 101st. 70 to 71 Nam ; 27th Engr. Btl 71 to 73.
I've used 51's and they are easier but I'm still able to work my 38 pretty easy. Don't want to retire the old girl until I can't operate her any longer. It would be like getting a divorce or a death.
Thanks I gained many brothers during that time.
