The Swiss Army Knife has long been the stereotype for having all the tools you could need in one place. A couple days ago Topher blogged about the ULTIMATE Swiss Army Knife that he’d just heard about. As with almost all cool gadgety things, this comes to us from ThinkGeek.com and was made by Wenger (the original Swiss Army Knife company) to celebrate their 100th anniversary. I had to double-check the thing myself, since it’s almost too much to believe, but the official website of Wenger in North America advertises it as well.

There are 85 tools on this puppy, which means that every tool available on ANY Swiss Army Knife is on it! Just try to fit THIS into your pocket! (It’s almost 9 inches wide and weighs almost 3 lbs.) :-) Here’s the official list of tools:

Yes, I do see that there are only 84 things listed when there are supposed to be 85 tools. I took this right from the Wenger website, so it’s THEIR fault. :-) I think they failed to list the regular KNIFE BLADE. Ha! (unless that’s #6)

Oh, and before you start grabbing the credit card to order this huge “knife,” know that the manufacturer’s retail list price is $1,200 (although you can get it from ThinkGeek for “only” $999).
