2 pounds, 11 ounces

August 25th, 2006

I’d love to know what sort of person would spend US$1,200 on this knife:

Dennis Pireta, Wenger’s marketing director put it succinctly when he noted, “This is not exactly going to win any awards for lightest, smallest or most efficient tools…” The knife is a brute, weighing 2 pounds, 11 ounces and measuring 8.75 inches. But don’t worry, it has a key ring so you can carry it on a belt loop.

[...] Each knife must be ordered individually through the company.

No doubt Wenger have employed an army of telephone sales representatives, just waiting for the inevitable rush of orders.
