Small rectangular metal can opener made of steel with a folding cutting blade and a single round hole at one end. The surface is unpainted, showing minor wear and oxidation. Compact in design, this opener was issued with Canadian Armed Forces rations and survival food packets, including those used by the Royal Canadian Air Force in the 1950s.
Its flat form allowed it to be packed efficiently with field rations, where it served as both an opener and a potential multi-use tool for piercing, scraping, or creating holes in ration tins (as described in the printed instructions on some survival kits).
