This mammoth multi-tool is the newest addition to our virtual collection of Awesome Swiss Army Knives. Created in Germany by John S. Holler of the Holler Firm in 1880, it actually predates the Swiss Army Knife by ten years.
Holler’s spectacular knife is equipped to perform 100 different functions:
"It has a serrated blade, dagger blades, shears and scissors, an auger, a corkscrew, saws, a lancet, button hook, cigar cutter, pens and pencils, mirror, and straight razor. You can even use this tool to tune a piano, as it has a piano tuner built in. Hungry? It’s got a butter knife so you can butter your toast.
But that’s not all: This is a knife you can actually bring to a gunfight. It has a fully functioning .22 caliber five-shot pinfire revolver. And as if that ain’t enough, the tortoise shell handle covers of the knife open up to hold picks, tools, and even mini folding knives.”
But whatever you do, don’t run with it.
