Ok; In the past the topic of can opener has come up many times and what I'm about to show you with a video could come in real handy!
I think many here have seen a Boy Scout knife and the hundreds of Multi-Tools/knife's that for sale just about everywhere and all these will likely have a can opener that was invented and patented in 1942 and put into production in 1943 as part of the military contract for the U.S. Army and found in a GI pocket knife.
I have shown this little gem to a good number of people over the years and most had no idea what it was or how it is used, a few thought it was a bottle opener and the bottle opener in most pocket knifes looks very similar to the can opener, but the bottle openers usually has a flat tip so the tool doubles as a screwdriver.
