Always out in front of the field, Victorinox (better known as Swiss Army) has fashioned a usb key drive into one of their famous knives. The SwissMemory 1Gb is exactly what it sounds like: a pen knife cabable of storing 1 Gb worth of digital data and still providing:
- a blade
- a nail file with screwdriver
- scissors
- a key ring
- an LED mini light
- and a retractable ball point pen
Windows 98 Drivers for the unit are available on the SwissArmy site, but considering the SwissMemory 1 Gb rolls in at $197, you might be better off just buying a Windows 98 machine to keep wherever you’re going. At least at that price you’ll probably be the only person you know with one of these knives.

Update: Yeah, we know — two multi-knife articles in a row. We just saw this one and couldn’t pass up dropping it on the site. We promise we’re not becoming “Knifemonger.” Really.

LOL…what retailers are selling this?
The thumb drive is removable. So, leave the knife in your car/at home when you go to the airport.
Yeah, but why keep a USB drive without a lid in your pocket?? I’ll keep my Swiss Army Knife and USB drive separate, I think.
Very Interesting
