That's not a knife. THIS is a knife.

Or a toolbox.

....Whoa.

[fiveforsilver]

Not sure I'd want to see the pocket big enough to fit that knife...

[saffronrose.livejournal.com]

or the material needed to keep that pocket whole!

[starkruzr.livejournal.com]

I can't believe it's a real product for sale. Who would buy a $1000 unusable curiosity? O_o

[atimson.livejournal.com]

If I had the money, I certainly would. If nothing else, to see other people's faces when they saw it. :)

[madfilkentist]

If you had that kind of money, you wouldn't need to use tools yourself.

Somebody who could only take one item onto a deserted island?

[wolfette]

it would not fit in my pocket.

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Over a kilo in weight, nearly €1000 in price?

Wow.

Completely impractical, of course, but a great store window display item. Can one have 'build-your-own' knives? "I'll have attachments 4, 7, 22 and 65, please."

Yes you can get Swiss army jobs custom made - I've seen the results, I have no idea how much it costs. When I first saw this one it was in a news piece about the company, made as a demonstration piece including all their options. However since making it they had a number of requests for a copy at whatever zillion dollars each they charge for it.

Of cours you can't beat a leatherman :)

That's not a knife, it's a cybernetic sea urchin.

Dear Wenger,

I have truly figured out what I mean by the term "omnitool" when writing Transformers fanfiction.

Thank you.

I notice there's no wheelbarrow to cart the silly thing around included. I wonder what those good folks over at Victorinox have that's as "useful".

[stealthraptor.livejournal.com]

I think the wheelbarrow is on the bottom.

[aylinn.livejournal.com]

But it isn't complete! They left off the flash drive:

and the MP3 Player:

Mocketh not the flash drive one; my sister-in-law gave me one for my birthday last year and it's actually very useful. (For those of the geek persuasion, anyway.)

-- Steve wouldn't be caught dead with that humungous one, though... actually, if he had one he'd likely be found dead under it.

"Is that a knife in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?"

[dragon-prince.livejournal.com]

but it still isn't a gerber

[trdsf.livejournal.com]

Does it come with a backpack to carry it in? o.O;

[uozaki.livejournal.com]

Add a rock hammer and a GPS something, and I bet my geology department would buy one. Wow.

[were-gopher.livejournal.com]

Want. With belt pouch. They can swap the golf junk for the flash drive, mp3 player and a thing for getting boy scouts out of horses hooves tho.

That's a perfect example of a mathom, or a conversation piece.

The owner could bring it out during some social gathering, and it would be passed around, remarked on, various tools examined, frobbed (http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/F/frobnicate.html), and perhaps mocked — and in the end, everyone would agree that it's amusing to look at and play with, but utterly ridiculously impractical to actually use.
