This has to be a publicity stunt, because how could anyone actually use this thing? It's a
Giant Swiss Army knife, featuring 85 tools, including a flashlight, golf divot repair tool, fish scaler, cigar cutter, toothpick, and a key ring. It weighs 2 pounds, 11 ounces and measures 8.75 inches. Wenger is selling it for $1200. But you have to special order each one.

That being said, I would totally like to have one. Would look cool on a display shelf or counter thingy i have in my place. Mega MacGyver... But $1200 is a little steep for my blood.
When I bought my own Swiss Army Knife, I deliberately avoided the ones that included a spoon, fork, shovel, tire chains, etc., on the grounds that they would be too cumbersome to carry. I got a fairly simple (and fairly small) model instead. I imagine most people do the same.
I thought you were just supposed to put the divot back where it came from and sort of step on it.
Obviously, I don't play golf.
I also remember seeing the large mechanised versions of these many times in Europe as displays in stores. I often wondered if those ones were actually functional, or if they were just plastic. And if they were functional, I wonder if this one is just the same thing, minus the little motors inside?
Did anyone else notice one of the "tools" is a "Removable tool holder with expandable receptacle"?
2. The Victorinox catalogue (they're the other makers of Swiss Army knives) includes a Swiss officer's knife: it's the one WITHOUT any of those fancy blades and accessories.
You could also get the giant one there too.
Re: everyone else--obviously it wasn't meant to be used. it was a showcase of all the tools Wenger had put on their various knives up until that point.
Why have so few people ever understood that simple concept?
