Mini-tool & can opener, mutually exclusive?

[Novadak]

I couldn't find anything on this, so I'm going to break down and ask: are there any mini-tools out there (like the LM Micra) that have some kind of can opener on them? I think the Micra is neat, and I'd like to get one for my keys, but since the can opener is one of the features that actually gets _used_ on my old SAK... I'd much rather have that than the nail file, personally.
Or is the knife blade on the micra thick enough to slice open a can with no permanent damage?
I just noticed that the LM Mini-Tool has a can opener on it. However, this tool features pliers instead of scissors. The mini-tool seems only a smidgen bigger than the Micra, so I assume size is not a factor here..
So.. scissors, mini-tool, can opener.. any suggestions?
Thanks!

The mini is just a bit bigger in stature, but it's quite a bit thicker to accomodate the pliers and much heavier. Not really a keychain item, at least for me.

Course you can always get a Micra and one of those old GI keychain can openers. They still sell them at the Army/Navy stores here.

The old GI can opener is a P 38, not to be confused with the twin engine model or the 9 mm model, both of the same vintage.

The P 38 is a great can opener as long as you are right handed or can use the thing right handed. it is not lefty friendly. and it won't double as a bottle opener, but if cans are what you are into, it will get you there.

That is my carry on a neck thong. A LM micra and a P38.Best of both worlds.
