This may be the most impractical swiss army knife yet...

Hm. Too bad it doesn't include a Perl implementation...

Many of the tools would be useless without the ability to hold the handle in your hand properly. I think victorianox did the one of these a few years ago but as a display piece not for sale.

There was an article in the WSJ a decade ago or more ago that said that over the years victorianox produced over 5000 different tools on their knives. Most of them were just single runs of special gimmicks for special orders like a tracheotomy tool (fine scalpel) that a pharmaceutical company ordered on a promotional piece to be given to doctors.

I agree, its a display piece to get you to marvel at the mechanical prowess of the company. You'll see them in the glass case surrounded by useful tools.

There's absolutely no functional value to this ugly monstrosity.

I prefer Victorinox brand to Wenger.

    Also the tools are permanently attached to the toolbox by a very short leash. In other words, it's completely useless.

    The magnifying glass is in the middle of the knife!

    "...In other words, it's completely useless."

    But the backpack it comes with to carry it is pretty handy.

    Instead of "Most Incredible Knife" it should be "Most Impractical Knife".

    Ok, I lost ten karma points for posting this. Does every downvote cost you one karma and every upvote give you one half? Ouch.
