Steel vs Steel - Utility folders as can openers

Scraping paint off steel. In the course of my work I sometimes need to check steel structures for lead paint. I try to cut / scrape so as to expose all layers. Then I test them.
 
My uncle used to open cans with his Schrade lockback all the time when I was camping as a kid, much faster than a Swiss or P38. I have done it when I had to, scratches up the blade but it was all camping knives anyway. Buck 110, AFCK, cheap “Rambo” knives in my teens. Wouldn’t want to use my Sebenza, but if something stands between me and food or beer, woe be tide it.

Am I the only one who refers to my p-38 as a "John Wayne"???

Thanks to all for enlightening me. I guess a knife has more resilience than I gave it credit for. Nice to know when, and if, the occasion should arise, that my trusty blade will perform on any can as well as a P38 (especially at high altitudes ... I seem to recall the P38 having a low flight ceiling).
 
Oh, a beer! Well, now, that's a different story! I haven't done anything particularly unusual with a knife, but I have used darn near every other kind of implement to open beer bottles.

Buy two Victorinox Recruits for about $12.00 each and put one in your glove compartment and one in your camping gear and forget about them until confronted by a can or bottle. It is much cheaper to buy these SAKs than it is to risk breaking a valuable "utility knife" that really has limited utility for such things.
