"Could you tote this around in your pocket or handbag? could you even use the knife or saw or anything, when the whole thing is that big?.. " This thing was never meant to be toted around. Surely, anyone with eyes can see that. Wenger made this Swiss Army Brick as a collectible and a showcase of all the various tools they'd used on their knives up until that point. Why are there so many people who trash this thing for not being pocketable? Sad thing is, I've seen plenty of people make jokes about this "knife", but the majority of them understood the real purpose of it. This blogger seems to really think it's missed the point because it's too big and heavy to carry. The blogger's the one who missed the point. Oh, fer cryin’ out loud!

With so many functions you’ll need to carry an instruction manual around which kind of defeats its purpose. Not worth the price either.
