I could sell off all of my power tools and I might even find enough room in my travel trailer to take it camping;-)

I admire the person who went to such an extent to create that.

Read them, some are quite funny, I don't think anyone actually owns one who reviewed it.

[mreza Salav]

I get the reviews are funny, but you cannot write a review unless you have bought it.
So the question is, does Amazon really sell something like that?! I thought it's a joke but you can add it to your cart and check out (but I didn't go as far as paying for it).
Have people really bought it (at that price)?! One thinks it's an Aprils 1st fool joke...

Nope - it's no joke. There are plenty of serious "knife knuts" that would buy one. $1000.00 isn't anything special as far as price goes to a collector.
Head on over to bladeforums dot com sometime and check it out.

Edit to add - after doing a bit of reading,,,,it would appear that the Amazon price is actually a bargin - MSRP is $2400. A "going price", $1400 - is nearly half agin what Amazon charges.
& no I really doubt if any of the reviews are by someone that bought one. It would be rather pointless since anyone that bought one knows exactly what they are buying and for what reason (collector).

BTW - no - I don't have one. I don't care for the Swiss Army Knife type of knife. I'd rather have a multi tool like the one from Gerber that I keep handy.

At 8.75 inches closed, I dont think you could call it a "pocket knife"

[Craig McCormick]

I'm not too sure about it's "key ring" capabilities either))

[Myk Rian]

How would you hold the danged thing?

[Gary Herrmann]

Same way you hold a brick?

[Joe Spear]

I think it's just a decorator item to hang on your wall. I'm strong and have big hands and still would have a lot of trouble using most of the "implements" whatever "functions" they serve.
