**RARE**MINT**2007 GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS, RECORD BREAKER**Original Boxed, Massive Wenger ‘Giant’ Swiss Army Multi Blade / Tool Knife (87 Tools 141 Functions) With Original Certificate Of Authenticity & Tools / Functions List. Sn 21060 - 21060 Wenger, known to be the more innovative of the two Swiss Army Knife manufacturers (the other being Victorinox), created this unique Swiss Knife Army that is still considered a marvel of modern Engineering. The Wenger Giant is the largest Swiss Army Knife (SAK) ever made. It is the only SAK that has the most tools, as it has every tool that Wenger has ever produced for their 85mm Swiss Army Knives. The Giant comprises 87 tools that can perform 141 different functions. The Wenger Giant did feature in the Guinness World Records. specifically, the Guinness Book Of World Records awarded it the distinction of being the ‘most multifunctional penknife‘. This is what Guinness says about the Wenger Giant: “The most multifunctional penknife is the Swiss Army Giant Knife 2007, manufactured by Wenger S.A. in Delemont, Switzerland, which contains 87 tools and offers 141 different functions”. The Giant ended up having 14 blades, three types of pliers, countless screwdrivers, saws, wrenches, and a lot of other tools. Wenger made it available for purchase around 2007, the year it won the Guinness Record. It comes only in standard red-coloured Wenger Branded scales. The Giant is an enormous SAK. Though impressive by design and craftsmanship, the model is so large that it is impractical for any type of actual use. It is not something you can carry with you anywhere, be it in your pocket or in your bag, however, Wenger has made it pretty clear that the Giant was not designed to be a practical knife, it was specifically used for promotional purposes by Wenger, mainly to attract the attention of dealers at trade shows. Our example is in mint condition with all of its original blades and tools including functioning torch & compass. Closed the knife measures 9 ¼” x 6”. The knife comes in its original Wenger labelled hard cardboard issue box. The box with removable lid measures 11”x10”x4”. The inside of the box is lined to protect the knife and contains the knife’s original certificate of authenticity and its original Wenger certificate listing all 87 tools and 141 functions (illustrated in the images). The price for this mint world record breaker which are no longer in production includes UK delivery. Sn 21060 (in white cardboard box shelves storeroom)
