I don't know if the military still issues the P38, but it was issued to troops through WWII and up into the 1980s at least. They are ubiquitous in Army surplus stores. And they are cheap. Preppers like to keep them stashed in kits and with food stores. Campers will often have them around as well. I keep a few in my kitchen as a backup should our regular can opener break. This video gives a bit of history on the P38, shows how to use them to open cans and how they can be pressed into a few other duties as well.
