    Remarkable

    Posted by Coombes1 on Oct 22nd 2023

    Just like the ones I had in the 70’s. Remarkable piece to have. Bought several of them and handed them out to my kids. I call it a multi purpose tool also.

    I bought these for a friend. He was over joyed at the 2 different sizes. My only quibble is that they are neither blue or black. Issued colors.

    A military classic

    Posted by Geoff on Oct 23rd 2022

    A military classic from WW II to present. Everyday carry, goes through TSA screening. Works when other can openers won't. Cheap. Everyone, including your wife and kid (or grandkid) should have one.
