Biggest Swiss Army Knife Ever

Wenger's Giant knife has no fewer than 85 features, 110 functions, is eight inches wide and weighs almost 3 lb. Ideal if you never know whether you'll be repairing watches or waxing skis...

If you were watching Jonathan Woss's show at the weekend, you may have noticed him brandishing a preposterous comedy giant Swiss Army knife made by Wenger.

The Giant - above - is the world's biggest Swiss Army knife including every single implement which has been designed by the company. That means no fewer than 85 features and a claimed 110 different functions in a package that weighs 2lb 11oz and is about eight inches wide, so you'd better have big pockets.

It comes complete with a certificate of authenticity and in a presentation box with all the blades and attachments open and on display. So if you just can't decide which features you need, the Giant is the obvious answer...

Among the listed features - see below - are exotica like a football stud key, a ski wax scraper, cigar-cutting scissors, a spotlight module and a bike chain rivet setter.

Cost is a hefty £495 making it ideal for rich people who've run out of gift ideas. Fortunately Wenger also produces Swiss Army knives in a range of more convenient sizes...

More details at www.whitbyandco.co.uk and if you simply must know what all the different features are, here's the certificate. If only it had one of those battery-powered latte whisks...

And what's more...

It's perfectly OK to take one onto a plane...

Because it's totally impractical as a weapon!

Oh, I don't know - you could club somebody over the head with it?
