I had one of those....not the most robust of openers
andbi officially 2013 now so no buying kit for another 364 days

I have a P51 and its OK.
Never tried the P38 so can't comment but for me the P51 opens cans well enough considering its size.
Can't say I use it often though.

Morning Sam, what do the numbers refer to? Size?

Here's my 1990 one and an old Swedish one

They don't do anything that a Swiss Army Knife/Leatherman Fuse doesn't though and in a less handy package.

You can't conceal a Swiss army knife in a jacket lapel or trouser hem as a survival aid

Fair comment, is that a problem in West Riding? Place must be tougher than I thought.

Its when I leave the riding. The cans in the shops seem very weary of folk with Swiss army knives on there hips

Seriously though, its good practice to skin, gut a squirrel with one and spoon carving is only for the disciplined lol (not me ) but it can be done :what:

 

[Shewie]

Are they good for multiple use or do you have to chuck them once they've been used? My cheap placcy one died a few weeks ago so need another one for my wannigan.

 

[Chiseller]

The better made ones are sound for multiple use. Mine is 23yr old and I don't know the age of the Swedish one. Wouldn't like to guesstimate how many times they've been used though? And how many different uses they've been challenged to?
