In each box was a small can opener, the majority of which were disposed of along with the empty ration cans. I held onto one, and still have it to this day.

They are very sharp, very durable and I have yet to find a tin they will not open. Worried that I would eventually break my old army one, I managed to find a source of new ones, which are now sold on our Ford &amp; Field website. These new version are almost identical to the military ones. They are made of stainless steel and have squared off corners but that is about the only difference.<\/p>\n<p>Mine lives in the coin pocket of my wallet and is with me all the time. For camping, days out or just as an emergency spare can\/tin opener, this is an invaluable tool.<\/p>\n<style id=\"bwg-style-0\">    #bwg_container1_0 #bwg_container2_0
