Found it! That's pretty awesome. It says it weighs 10 pounds...I wonder what the dimensions on it are.

I had a look at the original, higher quality, picture... The straight really does have a chip on its edge!

Cheers.

I would buy one of these if it came with a .44 magnum.

I don't see a snurdler in there. 100 blades and no snurdler, what's the point?

Make sure the safety's on before shaving.

I don't know...it already has a five shot .22. I sort of feel that any pocketknife that can fire any ammunition is worth buying, regardless of the caliber.

Good thing it was made in the 19th century. if it was made recently it probably would have had a thermonuclear device embedded into it and it would be a weapon of mass destruction.

I think I saw that thing in one of the "Saw" movies....

That's one tremendous piece of equipment!
