MacGyver was pretty badass, wasn’t he? I mean, here was a man who could get out of virtually any situation just by using objects that were within his immediate reach. That takes a lot of skill. Not everyone can use a small wind up clock, some wiring, and a Swiss Army knife to rig an electrical system. But, if you want to be optimistic about it, maybe all you really need is a quality utility knife to jump start your MacGyver skills.Then again, skill like that takes a bit of time to master, so you’d probably have to start out with one heck of a tool set.
To that note, I present you with the Giant Swiss Army Knife (ThinkGeek, $999.00). I guarantee this knife’s beauty would make MacGyver weep. For one, this isn’t any ordinary knife – it’s gigantic. I mean, really, it is a beast of a knife. Weighing in at just under three pounds and almost nine inches wide, it’s not really as portable as a traditional Swiss Army knife. However, it’s not like any of that space is wasted here because there are 85 tools built into this single knife. Yup, 85! There’s a reason why this knife id the Guinness World Record holder for the most multifunctional penknife (I mean, it’s kinda a no-brainer). Ok, so you might not be able to carry it around with you everywhere and the price is a bit steep, but you’ve got to admit the sheer awesomeness of this knife. Keep it in your car or at the office; it would be perfect for a long camping weekend. And it has a lifetime warranty, so you know that your money is gonna be well spent.
Yeah, I know that just owning this knife isn’t gonna turn you into some kind of superhero. But, I do think that if you flash it around a bit, not a whole lot of people are gonna mess with you. I wouldn’t recommend bringing it through airport security though. Somehow, I think that might end badly.
4 out of 5 stars.
