LOL! That thing is crazy!

One of the "blades" looks like a mini revolver with a folding spur trigger! It's in the upper left by the large scissors.

5 shots, too.

Neat!

Any idea what caliber the mini-gun was and how much the knife weighed?

You need a porter to help carry that thing!

In today's world, it would be illegal, and probably cost $2,500.00 or more. It is cute and has some really nice artwork in it.

Have a blessed day,

And which pocket would you carry that in? Might need its own backpack. lol

Interesting as a design exercise, but in practicality, probably useless.

The link with the photo gives part of the story. This link https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_1061776 tells far more and has more photos, including the knives hidden under the scales.

I dig the revolver but those SAWS!.... Gorgeous!

It looks like the bolsters have a hinging component to them. I wonder if that's the case and if they do, what's the purpose?

Not what I would consider to be irreducible complexity.
