USB Swiss Army Knife - No, Seriously!

Given that you can buy a Victorinox Swiss Army Knive with just about every gadget known to man, from horse-hoof awl to Hubble Space Telescope lens polisher, it's no real surprise that the company - in association with flash memory outfit Swissbit - is now offering cutting tools plus USB flash memory stick. The gadget will be unleashed on an incredulous world at CeBIT next week. The USB Swiss Army Knife is available with 64 or 128MB memory, plus all the usual extras - knife, corkscrew and tin-opener. The 64MB version will cost €55; the price of the 128MB version is tba."<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/1392.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Ok, this is simply cool. I normally carry around a 256 MB Flash drive with me, but more often than not I wish I had a small knife or pair or scissors on me. This way, I can have both! :mrgreen:

Cool. I always have a baisc knife (like the one in the picture minus the USB Memory ;) ) plus I have a SD USB key. This would be a perfect replacement. Too bad I'm not willing to drop that much coin to replace the stuff I have now. At least not until one of them breaks. :)

Yeah, but you can't travel with it.

Yeah, but you can't travel with it.
You can if you drive. :lol:

put it in your checked lugage.

Who checks luggage? I don't think I've checked a bag in the last 15 years....

My wife just reminded me of the number one reason I should not get this. I always forget my knife in the pocket of my jeans and it ends up going through the wash. This happens on average, about once a month. It's not so bad with the basic knife, but if it had flash memory in it.... 8O not good.

We are getting closer to the one gadget ideal all the time. Now if someone will put the knife/flash memory USB into a Smartphone, the world would truely be a better place! :D
