Just one look at this thing makes my brain hurt.

Lets face it: we live in an age where "bigger" is seemingly always "better." Developers slap up oversized McMansions that are poorly built homages to gluttony, fast food joints seem to think that the average drink serving for a human being hovers somewhere around a gallon-and-a-half, and then you have this thing:

87 Implements

 

141 Functions

 

2 Pounds

 

8.75" Wide

 

$1,400


Can someone PLEASE explain to me, the purpose of a Swiss Army knife that requires it's own carrying satchel? Hell, even if you were to carry this thing around with you on the job site and found a need for the awl, how the heck would you ever find it?

And here's the kicker: Wenger is "out of stock." How on Earth does something this absolutely insane become sold out? I think I've got to fire off an email to Andy Rooney. Smells like a 60 Minutes whine-fest to me!
