#1 Sorry, I selected Short Attention Span Theater but didn't re-sort it out of WOT. Please move.

#2 Does it come with a backpack to lug the 67 pound monster tool around?

#3 What! No aluminum foil helmet crimping tool! This is an outrage!

#4 What? No Spoon or Fork? What's an army knife without a spoon or fork? Or even a spork?

Pretenders!

(And a lot of items on the list seem to be repeated.)

#5 Just how would you get a grip on that thing? The most useful function is the unstated no. 86, the paperweight.

#7 ...I'm reminded of Derek Flint's watch, which had 87 separate functions - 88 if you included wanting to know what time it was. :)

#8 A man like flint?

BTW this would never make it through airport security but they might die laughing when they see it.

#11 Yes, but will it improve my sex-appeal?

#12 Stick it in the front pocket of a pair of tight jeans and find out.

#15 no feeler gauge for setting the points on a big block 67 Mustang????

#16 No .50 Cal machinegun timing and headspace gauge either.

#17 Yes, but face it, when confronted with an attacker, all you have to do is open up all of the blades and throw it at him. Something's bound to stick. But be sure you have at least five minutes to unfold all the blades.

RD, thank you for posting the image.

Sweet merciful crap, RD! That thing looks like some tech nerds were given $10 million to build a pantomime horse.

#20 Having lots of spare time on My paws, I noticed that items #55-60 duplicate #9-14, and #7 and #54, and #53 duplicates #58.

#26 Bound to happen eventually - a STARS WARS SWISS ARMY KNIFE. Might as well be now. Surprised it doesn't fold out into a laptop or rocket launcher, etc which I suspect will come in time. Sniff, sniff, will RAMBO use it???
