A giant Swiss army knife weighing almost 1.5kg and with 87 tools has gained a place in Guiness World Record for having the most functions on a penknife.

The Wenger giant Swiss army knife has at least 115 uses, according to the company.

The tools include Phillips and flat head screwdrivers, saws, scissors, rulers, universal wrench, laser pointer, cigar cutter, compass, can opener, golf club face cleaner, tyre tread gauge and of course, the toothpick.

For the person with everything, it'll set you back about $1000.
