Hearing Nothing at the moment.
If you know someone who feels like they have to use all the fiddly bits of his (or her) Swiss Army Knife, then this would present them with a serious life challenge:
I mean, look at that. That's just silly. And not cheap, either: the Wegner Knives website has it for $1200. It's a hell of a conversation piece, although I suspect ultimately not very practical.
Want one? I know I do.

There is Absolutely No Correlation Between the Size of a Man's Swiss Army Knife, and, Well, You Know
If you know someone who feels like they have to use all the fiddly bits of his (or her) Swiss Army Knife, then this would present them with a serious life challenge:
Just as you can't be too rich or too thin, I'd always thought, so you can't have too many tools on your Swiss Army knife - but that was before I took delivery of the new Giant Swiss Army knife. Grotesque, if superbly engineered, the Giant weighs nearly a kilogram and features 85 devices in all. Unload this mother into the plastic tray as you walk through security at Heathrow and just see what happens.
Wanna see it? Here it is:I mean, look at that. That's just silly. And not cheap, either: the Wegner Knives website has it for $1200. It's a hell of a conversation piece, although I suspect ultimately not very practical.

I have a friend who lost an arm in a factory accident (I saved him, but that's a whole other entry). Since then, he's been trying to find someone to build him a Swiss Army prosthetic arm.
It makes pretty good sense. if you're gonna walk around with a fake arm, you may as well get some storage out of it. If you can skin a fish or unscrew a light fixture, all the betta!
The best he's done so far is to find a mechanic who made him an absolutely kick-ass hook.
