Hi, the p38 is an 1.5 inches (38mm) and the P51 is 2 inches (51mm). The p38 has one rib while P51 has two. Both are available on Amazon just get the US made, usually marked Shelby, regards, Mike

Hi, here's a picture, Mike

I’d look for actual issue P-51s. I’ve seen some folks say the cheap knock-offs don’t last long. Likely soft metal. My original P-38 has cracked many a tuna can in the past year and isn’t slowing down.

I´m carrying my P-38 since 1982 on my keyring until today. Only saw a P-51 once, it came with the T-18s/UGRs.

The old 1950s-1993 british GS rations carried a can opener identical to a P51, but it was just called "can opener"

Wounder why the usa didnt think of that calling somthing by its name
