Product Description
From the makers of the original Swiss Army Knife, this 2-1/4-inch-long tool combines the Swiss Army Knife's renowned versatility and a removable 1 GB USB memory stick for storing and transporting data such as music, photos, and text files. Displaying the Swiss Army Knife's famed Swiss-flag logo of white cross against a red background, the handsome translucent-ruby housing also holds a knife blade, a combination nail file and screw driver, a scissors, a retractable ballpoint pen, a LED mini light, and a key ring. Accompanying the tool is a USB cable for connecting the memory stick to PCs and MACs. About Victorinox
In 1884, Swiss cutler Karl Elsener set up shop in Ibach-Schwyz, installing a waterwheel in Tobelbach Brook to run his grinding and polishing machines. Thus began what would become the international brand name Victorinox, a combination of Victoria, for Elsener's mother, and "inox," or stainless steel. Today, Victorinox produces watches, luggage, clothing, and, famously, Swiss Army Knives. The forerunner of that name dates to 1897, when Elsener patented the Swiss Officer's and Sports Knife he supplied to the Swiss Army. Following World War II, American servicemen and women shopping in PX stores shortened the name to Swiss Army Knife, which lives on in English-speaking countries around the world and has become a metaphor or versatility.

 Handy, but potentially disastrous November 14, 2008
deipnosophist (Alexandria, VA)
It's always good to have a little knife or flashlight on you, but this memory stick comes up short. The biggest problems with the "Swissbit" was that it had its own software that supposedly helped you stay more organized. I've always thought this was a stupid idea since it's easy enough to make folders on your flash drives. The one good feature was that it could synchronize with your My Documents folder on your home computer. This dumb software proved disastrous when I plugged it into a Mac, and then couldn't open any of the folders. I was freaking out, especially because it had my masters thesis on it. I had to download a file recovery software program to get my files off of it. Plus, you could buy a little Swiss Army knife and a flash drive for probably $30 instead of the $70 or more that they charge for these things. That said, I loved having them integrated, and I'm always disappointed to not have a knife on me when I need it.
 Husband loves it! January 19, 2008

I ordered this for my husband as a stocking stuffer. He is a gadget lover and a teacer. It is one of his favorite gifts! He loves the idea of it, it's compactness and usefulness! It is well made and practical!
Excellent Idea January 3, 2008

Great product for any of us who sometimes would like to copy material to a thumb drive... and also might need a little knife blade, scissors etc.
One Year Later December 8, 2007
K. J. Longwell (Where in the world, USA)
As of Christmas day, my husband will have used this item for a full year. He's a computer programmer, webpage designer, etc and this item gets full use EVERY DAY. He still loves it and won't leave home without it in his pocket! Just the other day the light went out and we are searching out a replacement battery, but other than that have had NO other troubles with it. I highly recommend this item and any other Swiss Army items. Top quality.
