For over 80 years, the Neiman Marcus Christmas Catalog has offered unusual (and extravagant) gifts for the man or woman who apparently has everything else. Now, the folks at Hammacher Schlemmer have their own cutting-edge gift idea for the traveler and outdoor enthusiast: “The Only Complete Swiss Army Knife.”
A Swiss Army Knife has been a staple on the outdoor scene for decades, but this version is apparently targeted more at those who prefer to hit the road instead of the trail. Tipping the scales at a robust two and three-quarter pounds, this won’t be the tool of choice for backpackers! For road warriors, however, there’s something on board this model for almost any situation.
What does it take to earn a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for “The Most Multifunctional Penknife”? (Apparently the definition of “penknife” is rather broad!) How about “87 precision-engineered tools” that perform a reported 112 functions? You’d expect a good sampling of blades, screwdrivers and pliers on a Swiss Army Knife, and this model doesn’t disappoint in that category. However, in an effort to be sure that no sportsperson is left behind, the “Complete” version also caters to aficionados of the following activities:
- RV’ing – tire-tread gauge and key ring;
- Golf -3 golf club tools (club face cleaner, shoe spike wrench and divot repair tool);
- Cycling – a bicycle chain river setter;
- Fishing – combination fish scaler, hook disgorger, and line guide tool;
- Hunting – a 12/20-gauge shotgun choke tube tool;
- Boating and hiking – signal whistle
- Armchair Traveler (Old School variety) – cigar-cutting scissors
Once your trip is over and you’re ready to hit the lecture circuit, you can use the knife’s laser pointer during your illustrated talks, (Sorry, a projector for your PowerPoint presentation is not included.)
The price for this marvel of stainless-steel Swiss engineering? $1,400. The catalog entry I saw didn’t mention if batteries are included–or required–for that laser pointer.
Can anyone top this in the “outdoor gadget” category?

creating a wordpress theme
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming
having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

I’m not sure exactly why but this site is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check
back later on and see if the problem still exists.

You are so funny!!! I’ve become obsessed with your blog and I spend most of my work hours reading all your posts. And I made an account JUST to post comments. I wish I had found you sooner, and I wish you posted as much as you did in the past! You must be super busy now though because you are so famous!!

Great blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers?
I’m hoping to start my own blog soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any ideas? Thank you!
