More than a knife

[CosmicGamer]

Perhaps the knife for that player who feels they need everything? This is a real knife at the Smithsonian.

And this 10 inch (when folded) knife can be brought to a gun fight too. Upper left. Fully-functioning .22-caliber revolver.

Even Mick Dundee would have to admit that THAT is a KNIFE.

That's not a knife; that's a MESS!

Now ya can bring a knife to a gun fight.

I'd give that gun a -2 penalty to ... wait, where's the trigger? How do you make sure the thing doesn't go off when its in your poc - uh, backpack?

I'm having trouble with the scale. There are little scissors and stuff in that compartment in the main body. Near as I can tell, if the thing's 10" long closed, then the scissors in there are only about an inch long, and that strop razor beside it's only got a 1 1/2" handle and a half-inch blade.

Hey, it has a tuning fork! I'm still looking; I know there's a kitchen sink in there somewhere.

Apparently, knife-pistol combinations were more common than I'd realized.

Good eye.

The knife is a show/display/sales model from, I believe, a German knife and scissor manufacturer which exhibits some of their craftsmanship and variety of items made. You'll note it has many numerous scissors - more than any useful device would require. The one open compartment - there are others - contains miniature versions of items they made. The writeup described them as 1" replicas.

This is to my knives-interest what smartphones are to my phones-interest: more than I would find useful.

But I will admit that certainly requires craftsmanship!
