Wenger 16999 Swiss Army Knife Giant
Wenger 16999 Swiss Army Knife Giant
Why anyone would pay $8,200 for this ridiculous, barely functional, non-Swiss made display knife, is beyond me. Out of 600+ reviews, none of them are “verified” purchases, so that’s a relief. Humanity still has a shred of common sense left, and that in itself is comforting to us peasants that can’t afford such luxuries.
1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing

This would be a great product but was dismayed to find it has no banana slicer- that’s a deal breaker. Returning today.
This person obviously didn’t know the wonders of the Hultzer 571 Banana Slicer…
5.0 out of 5 stars Flew it to Vegas
By B.W. Behling
When I forgot to take it out of my backpack before trying to board my flight the helpful TSA agent at the security area pointed out that by deploying the two larger blades and the jet engine on the back side I really didn’t need a commercial flight, just a runway and some goggles. Boy, did I feel dumb, but I saved $605 on airfare!
5.0 out of 5 stars Smaller on the inside
By Marshall Gatten
When I first got this, I thought it was pretty big and unwieldy. Really too heavy to keep in my pocket. But then I decided to really see what all the tools really did. I kept unfolding and unfolding and unfolding the tools, testing each one out in turn. As I was getting near the end, I unfolded a TARDIS, right out of the body of the multitool! I had no idea it had a TARDIS attachment – the Amazon description seems to miss it for some reason. Anyway, I folded the tool in on itself and into the TARDIS attachment. That made it MUCH smaller! It was still the same size, just smaller! It fit in my pocket easily and weighed next to nothing. That is a seriously great tool to include on such a beast. Unfortunately, a friend of mine bought the same knife and when I tried to show him how it worked I accidentally dropped mine into the TARDIS on his, and it’s a really bad idea to put one pocket dimension inside another. There was a rip in the spacetime continuum and both knives and my friend fell through it. Now I’m knifeless and friendless. But it was my fault for being careless with such raw energies. Anyway, I’m ordering another one in hopes that one of the tools I hadn’t gotten to yet might be useful for stitching up holes in space – that rip is in my living room floor, and I’m afraid my landlord will take my security deposit when I move out if I don’t fix it.
5.0 out of 5 stars My Final Communication with the World…
By T Ethridge
The knife has become self-aware, and is staring at me from the corner of the room. The 1,387 page instruction manual has no troubleshooting for self-awareness. I’ve attempted to communicate with the knife, but it only speaks Swiss-German. It keeps saying: “Ich werde Ihre Welt zu beherrschen!” It looks angry. Funny, because everyone was so nice during my last trip to Switzerland. Anyway, if you purchase this knife, be sure to unplug it from the USB port at night, power down WiFi, and disable the satellite link, lest it access Google and learn and as mine did. This is my final communication with the world….self-awareness hiccup aside, five stars for the crème brûlée torch.
