The P38 Can Opener is a tiny folding can opener of the kind issued to soldiers. It opens canned food just like a full-size Can Opener. At 0.05 weight it is the lightest way to carry that job.
The P38 is small enough to fit on a key ring. It is found mainly in army surplus stores, military crates and on dead soldiers. The Chef is the best occupation for cooking. It starts with the most Cooking skill. The Burger Flipper also starts with some Cooking skill.
Cooking
The P38 opens cans. It works for the Open Canned Food recipe, which covers canned beans, chili, soups, fruit, vegetables, tuna and more. It also opens Water Ration Cans and both clean and dented unlabeled cans.
The P38 stays in the inventory after each can is opened, so one opener lasts.
The P38 has metal in it. It can start a fire if it is left in food that goes into a microwave.
Used in Crafting
Any recipe that asks for a can opener accepts it as the tool, such as Open Water Ration Can, Open Unlabeled Can and Open Dented Unlabeled Can.
Locations
The P38 is an uncommon find tied to the military. Army surplus stores keep it on shelves about a quarter of the time. Military crates hold it almost as often. Zombies in army camouflage or ghillie suits sometimes carry one. Closets, garage crates and sheds turn one up now and then. Army tents, camp worker lockers and survivor safehouses are a small extra chance.

Notes
- The P38 weighs a twelfth of a full Can Opener.
- It fits on a key ring, so it takes almost no space.
- Zombies in army gear are worth searching for one.
- Keep it out of the microwave, since the metal can start a fire.
