I think this P38 makes a more interesting can opener.

They're great till you wear it on your dog tag chain, it opens and impales your sternum.

Ouch. Keep it in your wallet. That should hold it safely in place.
 
I've had one on my keychain for probably twenty years. I keep it closed with a rubber band wrapped around the blade and "handle." I've also seen rubber tubing mentioned as another good way to stop a P-38 from stabbing you in the leg.

I've always carried it for "just in case" use, so, I haven't had the chance to learn that it'll get dull, yet.

Good information from the long time users, as usual!

I've carried one for years, and the only time I ever used one in an "emergency" was when a young woman I was interested in was cooking me dinner. I can't remember what she was trying to open but her cheap can opener gave up the ghost after cutting about an inch of the can. When I pulled out my keys she gave me a look like I was mental, and even after I explained the P-38 she was very skeptical. After seeing me open the can in a few seconds she was very impressed. I took it off my keychain and left it with her.
