USB And A Swiss Army Knife Together

Swiss Army USBIf you are like most people, you remember the first time that you saw a Swiss Army Knife and all the things that it could do. It was amazing how they got everything into such a small unit that you could carry around. A lot has changed over the past 10 years (or more) and the Swiss Army Knife has tried to keep up with what is going on in the world. With all the technology that is out there, it is a natural fit to have them incorporate some form of technology into their famous knife and name.

And with that, they are now providing the Swiss Army Knife included with a USB stick as a single unit. As you can see, the USB folds inside the knife for safe keeping. A great idea and one that many would love to have. In the configuration you see here, there are two sizes. One contains an 8 GB USB for a price of $49.00 and another contains a 4 GB USB at a price of $39.00. And these come with the expected scissors, small knife and nail file. These would probably be stopped by TSA as a security risk, so do not try and take on an airline.

If you want to keep things simple and just get one that contains a USB which can be folded into the handle, they have a large variety to chose from. They have a variety of colors to chose from along with a variety of USB storage sizes to pick from. The storage capabilities range from 4 GB up to 64 GB of storage. Or you can double the highest amount to get a dual 64 GB at a total capacity of 128 GB. As these go up in storage size the price goes up with that. There are higher capacity ones available including one announced at CES 2013 containing 1 TB of storage coming at a price of $3,000.00. Pretty steep price.

Last year, Victorinox, the makers of the Swiss Army Knife, discontinued the security software that was included with some of the USB knifes. They continue to sell their USB Swiss Army Knifes and they are worth taking a look at. These are great conversation starters and a great way to transport important information with you.
