Nope, Sandy, you're right. The little can openers are called P-38's. Army

knife with a can opener on it, the P-38's, available from army surplus type
stores and some camping supply stores, are a great thing to carry camping.
But they are so small, I suggest attaching a small, brightly colored cord.
