![]() I didn't really want to post an advertisement here at Rantburg, but this was nigh well irresistable. Sadly, it's a Wenger and not Victorinox, so there's no way I'd even consider buying it, but it has to be seen to be believed. If a moderator could please insert the black background photo from the website below my header text, I'd appreciate it. The Most Incredible Knife Wenger wants you to do one thing: throw out your old knives. Actually, it wants you to do several things: throw out your bike tools, your toiletries, your laser pointer and so on, because you can find all of these instruments in a huge Swiss Army knife, which includes every tool the company makes. Wenger is calling the contraption Giant Knife Version 1.0. It debuted with all 85 features and can perform hundreds of functions. Who doesnt need a cigar cutter next to a bicycle chain rivet setter next to a golf divot repair tool? Wenger is on to something with this everymans gadget. It wouldnt be a knife, though, without a blade, so Wenger put seven in the line-up. And it wouldnt be Swiss Army unless it came with tweezers and a toothpick. (Theyre included, too.) Here are all 85 tools included in Giant Knife, Version 1.0: 1. 2.5 60% Serrated locking blade 2. Nail file, nail cleaner 3. Corkscrew 4. Adjustable pliers with wire crimper and cutter 5.
