G.I. P-38 Black Can Openers

I like this subdued type better than the silver P-38 that came with the old C rats.

Unconventional Use

I actually got these for watercolor - they fold flat and are perfect to put in a small travel kit, and when opened help to cut free a sheet of watercolor paper from a block. Watercolor blocks are glued on all four edges with one small gap, this slides in and I can free the top sheet when i’m done painting. These are heavy duty black metal, fold flat, lock open, and presumably would do their intended job just fine. I bought a handful of them because I was tired of losing the single one I had.
