I still have my first P-38, marked 1961 and I have had it since basic training in 1966. Carry it on my keychain, never fails to open cans and works as a screwdriver and small prybar. They do not wear out! I use another as an everyday can opener, opens every can I ever use. I guess I am too cheap to invest in an electric for the kitchen! Never had a woman that liked my P-38 though....I was always the official operator <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
