The World’s Most Useless ‘Pocket’ Knife

As I leafed through the latest Hammacher Schlemmer catalog this afternoon, I came across this little gem. I have to say, the photo piqued my curiosity. At first, I thought it could be the most man-tastic pocket knife ever. That was, until I noticed that it's 8.75″ long!

Well paint me dumbfounded. Would you really set a screw with this thing's Phillips head screwdriver, rotating a mini steering wheel-sized hunk of metal? Really Wenger, really? Did the world need this bit of utter ridiculousness?

And for those of you chomping at the bit to get one, it can be yours for the reasonable price tag of $1,400 USD.
