Description

Originally issued to WWI English troops on the front line to open their canned supplies, this is a slightly later version of a Bully Beef Can Opener, as demonstrated by the supply of a wooden handle. In the days of a local knife sharpener, he would travel the streets sharpening household knifes and blades.
