Not your grandfather's pocket-knife

[FidelCashflow]

I just stumbled upon this little monstrosity. A $70K platinum and diamond encrusted swiss army knife. Only 4 carats of diamonds... even at 70 grand, it still looks cheap.

Arnys has some nice looking shagreen pocket-knives.

I'd consider getting one of these: http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/Item...+6-ri+-ni+0-t+

I'll stick with my classic that cost less than $20.

I carry a Buck Trapper. It's a great knife that works well for life's cutting needs.

Personally, I own (not carry, hidden weapons not allowed) a Leatherman juice cs4 that apparently cost a lot more than I thought when I got it - I fear I was not grateful enough - and a no name Swiss army knife copy that has served me well over the years but could do well with a sharpening.

As for the topic, it looks cheap indeed. The lines of practicality does not go well with excess, I think.

I carry something very similar to this. It was my dad's. On top of its usefulness, it has some sentimental value.

I still miss my tiffany swiss army knife, it cost $90 then.
I lost it few yrs ago.

The Tiffany is nice, but I'd be afraid to use it. I carry a small Case with bone handles made to look like stag.

Eh, I'd rather have the matching skull:

I can find better things to spend 70 grand on. I've never even had a swiss army knife, I should get on, I bet they come in handy.

Yes, a watch could be had for $70,000.

I happen to know where a guy (or gal) can order a very nice, handmade,, one-of-a-kind, "pocketknife" for around $1500.

Dennis FYI- I've carried a SAK on my keychain for as many years as I can recall (the under $20 variety). I can't remember the last time I needed to use the blade (I always carry one of my own) but the scissors, the toothpick, and the tweezers have come in handy on more than a few occasions.
