Who knows what...

military-supplied can opener. Used to get one in each boxed-lunch that I ate (before the military switched over to MREs.)

🙂


Edit: Yes, I know how to work them. We would keep one on our chain with our dog tags, in the event a can opener was needed.





 
I believe that's a P38. I used to have one... I don't know where it went. 🙁 Missing for years.

When I was little I liked them just because they had the same number as the P-38 Lightning.

Edit: And yes, I know how to use one.
 
Yep, old can opener. Slip it over the side of the can and cut away. Cuts a V shaps in the top of a can, like juice cans and such.
 
Dude, I think it's a can opener... but I can't be sure. It's not like anyone here has said what it is already. Because then we'd all know what it is.

What is it? WHAT IS IT!?

The tool acquired its name from the 38 punctures required to open a C-ration can, and from the boast that it performed with the speed of the World War II P-38 fighter plane.

Heh, cool. So I wasn't crazy after all. 🙂
