Small tool, big job

The Kombat UK Can and Tin Opener proves that the most useful bit of kit is often the smallest. This compact, pocket sized opener does one job and does it reliably, getting you into tinned food and rations without fuss, batteries or bulk.

Barely there in your pack

Lightweight and tiny, it disappears into a survival tin, mess kit or day bag and adds next to nothing to your load. Many carry one threaded onto a keyring or dog tag chain so it is always there when a tin needs opening.

Proven, reliable design

It uses the same simple, hook and rock action that has fed soldiers and campers for generations. There is nothing to break down, so it keeps working long after fancier gadgets have given up.

A true kit essential

From cadet camps and expeditions to caravanning, festivals and emergency grab bags, this is one of those items you are always glad you packed. Explore more survival and field kit in our tactical range.

Frequently asked questions

How does this opener work?

It is a compact manual opener that hooks over the rim of a tin and cuts around the lid with a simple rocking action, the same tried and tested design used in ration packs for decades.

Is it small enough for a survival kit?

Yes, it is genuinely pocket size and very light, which is exactly why it is a staple of survival tins, mess kits and grab bags.

Can I attach it to a keyring?

Most of these compact openers have a hole that lets you thread them onto a keyring, dog tag chain or lanyard so they are always to hand and never lost.

Why carry a manual opener?

A manual opener needs no power, will not break down and takes up almost no space, so it is the reliable backup that keeps you fed when tins are all you have.

Is it good for camping too?

Definitely. Beyond military use it is ideal for camping, festivals, caravanning and emergency kit anywhere you might need to open a tin without a bulky kitchen opener.
