Yep! I have had quite a few I had saved from C-rations since my days in the Marines. Used to keep it on my dog tag chain, just like every other Marine, we also called them “John Waynes”. From what I understand they are not made any more and the newer one is called the P51. It is longer in the handle section.

Being longer in the handle makes a lot of sense. I once had to open a five pound can of coffee with one. My fingers still hurt when I think about it.
