The Wenger 16999

For those who may have never seen this, it is as impressive as it is impractical. It is currently listed with the Guinness Book Of World Records as the largest Swiss Army Knife. I figured I would post it up for those who haven't seen it yet. It covers two of the subjects of my blog, knives and cigar accessories. Note the cigar scissors on the bottom side of the picture. This things weighs in at around 2 lbs. and boasts 87 implements and 141 functions. With a plethora of blades ranging from clip point, drop point, hawk bill, straight edge it has a ton of potential. I have to imagine this was  created with the sole purpose of being the largest swiss army knife and claiming the world record for such. If this would somehow break down or separate into sections it would be a ton more practical for use. I will post the list of implements stated on the wenger website but I believe they missed a few. I'm almost certain there is a flux capacitor, a grappling hook launcher, and possible even a improbability drive tucked away inside somewhere. Wenger lists this mammoth $2149.95 on it's site but I saw it listed on amazon for $999.00 with free super saver shipping. If you have an extra grand lying around and are a hardcore knife collector here is your chance to own a swiss army knife that would require a backpack to carry around. In case you're interested the link to amazon is HERE.
