Membership is going to be harder to come by since the Army P-51 are no longer being made.

The Canadian P-51 Club is growing since they are still being made and are very much liked, due to their larger size.

I quit carrying a keyring so my P-51's stay in my messkits.

When did they become P 51s? I know them as p 38s, sharing the name of a German Walther Pistole and WW2 twin tail Lightning interceptor by Lockheed? P 51 is the North American Mustang.

I'd have never thought of the tape. Great idea!

Honestly, I carry a Swiss Army Champ and a P-38 in my EDC bag. I believe in redundancy but try to keep my key chain as small as possible.

2 different items but they both open cans.

I'll stick to my Leatherman and SAK for now.

Okay,,,,my memory is starting to function,,,,the P-38 is the US Army Issue and the P-51 is the larger Canadian manufactured version.

I have been wondering about the same problem; my P38 is old and worn; you would think tape etc would come to mind.
Thanks for the tips guys.

P-38 w/ some mention of P-51:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-38_can_opener

A TON of info on the P-38 & the P-51. It says that the P-51 was used by mess hall cooks to open large cans.
