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 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.
