Please tell me that's a photoshop job... I like the Swiss Army Knife, but that goes well beyond useful...

One thing it designed out with this concept is a handle. I agree. Almost useless.

I didn't know they were available. Victorinox makes one every now and then with every available blade, saw, tooth pick, scissors, flash memory card, etc. I thought they only made them for their museum.

I believe that the "Swiss Champ XLT" is the largest, routinely sold, knife in the Swiss Army inventory.

My mistake, that's a Wenger. Should of checked. I collect the Victornix knives as I, harrumph!, consider the Wenger a poor relative of the original. Just kidding!

Yikes. I thought Leatherman's were expensive (though ever since I got one I've been in love with them).

Looking at the other items, it makes me think that Hammacher Schlemmer is German for "Rich Duchebag".

i suppose its really just a conversation piece. totally impractical.

Not sure where they got the $849 price shown on TechRepublic - if you follow the link to the Wenger website, the knife shows as $2149.

Amazon lists it for $975:

But read some of the reviews. They turned into a real contest for creative humor writing--some short, some long, many truly hilarious!

Sid you are absolutely right. The Amazon reviews are a total riot. I wasted a lot of time but had a lot of fun reading them. I recommend to all.

I meant to respond when this was posted but I got side tracked. I thought I had a picture of one like this but I cannot find it. It may be in some backup photos somewhere.

There are a couple of these in the Samarai Sword museum in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, Japan. The 2nd floor of the museum has a section dedicated to knives, and there are 2, if I remember correctly.
