My father had one on his key ring for all my life and we used it often when camping and a few times when the power was out due to snow/ice.  I have several I keep in the camper, and backpacks and the gerber tool has something similar that I have had to use a few times. 

There is also a bigger brother to the p38 the p51 - assume both named for for the airplanes - may invest in a few of the p51s as I get older and need the extra leverage to open the cans. 

Can you imagine the kid trying to figure out a modern can opener such as from the origional post being handed a p38?  Even better would be to give it to him without internet so he can not google what it is or how to use it.  They would be as lost as rat poop in a sack of wild rice.
