John S Holler the King

”Behold the Mother of All Swiss Army Knives, a multi-tool created by John S. Holler in Germany around 1880. The knife actually predates the Swiss Army Knife, which started production about a decade later in 1890.

The knife has 100 functions, including every types of blades imaginable. It has a serrated blade, dagger blades, shears and scissors, an auger, a corkscrew, saws, a lancet, button hook, cigar cutter, pens and pencils, mirror, and straight razor. You can even use this tool to tune a piano, as it has a piano tuner built in. Hungry? It’s got a butter knife so you can butter your toast.

But that’s not all: This is a knife you can actually bring to a gunfight. It has a fully functioning .22 caliber five-shot pinfire revolver. And as if that ain’t enough, the tortoise shell handle covers of the knife open up to hold picks, tools, and even mini folding knives.

The flip side of the knife opens up to reveal … a small crucifix knife, perfect for killing vampires!

Sadly, it does not have a bottle opener. That’s because the bottle cap wasn’t invented until 1892.”
