Well, if you have a few extra shekels to spare, to the tune of $1400, we’ve got just the gift for you! This Swiss Army knife is not only the largest of its type; it’s the holder of the Guinness World Record for "The Most Multifunctional Penknife," with 87 precision-engineered tools spanning 112 functions. Made by Wenger, crafters of genuine Swiss Army knives since 1893, this handy-dandy-all-purpose device has seven blades, three types of pliers, three golf tools, 25 flat- and Phillips-head screwdrivers and bits, saws, wrenches, and more. It also has a bicycle chain rivet setter, signal whistle, 12/20-gauge shotgun choke tube tool, combination fish scaler, hook disgorger, and line guide tool, cigar-cutting scissors, laser pointer, tire-tread gauge, toothpick, tweezers, and key ring.
