Looks like there are a few redundant functions on that knife. 


So how much are you going to bid on it?

It has broken scales so...  I'm going to try $16.83.

I wonder if blade clumping is an issue?

I wonder if blade clumping is an issue?   

                    I've got a feeling that clumping wouldn't be much of an issue;by the time you figured which implement to get,the need would have long passed

Was it a manufactured tool or somthing some guy did during a period of being snowed in with no cable tv?

[Benner]

I really like that!  Not at all functional but a great collection piece.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

It reminds me of that famous Sheffield knife, which had about 4.2 million tools on it

Those are typically called "Salesman's Knives" because they were sold to individual salesmen who would travel around and show off the individual tools to customers who would choose which ones they wanted in the final product.

They aren't usually too hard to find if you look for them, but they aren't terribly common either.

Have you lot seen how much this is going for already?!?

Yipes!!

Hey, we should get a friendly little pool going about what the final price will be. My guess is $2000

How annoying! It appears the auction ended early so there is no top figure.  Did anyone see how high it went?

[J-sews]

"The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale."


In my experience, this usually means that someone contacted the seller directly and made a private offer outside of eBay.

That's a shame.    I know it went past $2000 but that was a couple of days ago.

Wow, really? I hadn't been keeping track.

Hmmm, makes me want to go over to grandma's house right now and root around in the kitchen drawers! (I don't think grampa ever owned an exhibition knife, but for $2000+, it's worth finding out!)

Maybe the seller saw my offer of $16.83. 

I'm going to try $16.83.
