Using the Swiss Army Can Opener

Description

I like my Victorinox Swiss Army knives, I always keep one on my person. Many models, including the Camper/Hiker used in our survival kits have a can opener on them. It's easy to use and actually pretty fast also. Visit us for blogs, products and info. http://wildernessinnovation.com
