This Mother of All Swiss Army Knives

 

 

 

 

 

 

Behold the Mother of All Swiss Army Knives, a multi-tool created by John S. Holler in Germany around 1880. The knife actually predates the Swiss Army Knife, which started production about a decade later in 1890.

The knife has 100 functions, including every types of blades imaginable. 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.

A fully functioning .22 caliber five-shot pinfire revolver ... and a butter knife!

Notable blades: Straight razor and tuning fork.

Notable functions: Cheese fork and the kris blade.

The flip side of the knife opens up to reveal ... a small crucifix knife, perfect for killing vampires!

Sadly, it does not have a bottle opener. That's because the bottle cap wasn't invented until 1892.

Have we raised the threshold of horror so high that nothing short of a nuclear strike qualifies as a 'real' war? Are we to spend the rest of our lives in this state of high alert with guns pointed at each other's heads and fingers trembling on the trigger ?

 

An end in terror is preferable to terror without end.

 

You've faced horrors in these past weeks... I don't know which is worse. The terror you feel the first time you witness such things, or the numbness that comes after it starts to become ordinary.

 

War always reaches the depths of horror because of idiots who perpetuate terror from generation to generation under the pretext of vengeance.
