Victorinox finally begins shipping slim swiss army USB drives.
Earlier this year, Victorinox, makers of the original 'Swiss Army Knife' announced their line of Swiss Army USB drives. Unfortunately you won't be opening any bottles or slicing through any packaging with these, since there are no blades or other miscellaneous tools attached. Coming in a Slim and Slim Duo with sizes ranging from 4GB to 128GB, the Victorinox Swiss Army USB drive is finally shipping and can be purchased with a price range of $39.99 to $349.999 at the Swiss Knife Shop.
Although these drives aren't much smaller than traditional flash drives, they are as resilient as the rest of Victorinox's Swiss Army products. Completely waterproof, shock-resistant and even offering USB data encryption, the Swiss Army USB has much more to offer than awesome looks. Coming in various bright colors, they will also be easy to find, which is a good thing considering they are fairly pricey.

what, no toothpick?
This topic has me confuse in all kind of ways....
So a USB that looks like a Swiss Army Knife? That's news? I don't get it...
If I pay 350. I hope they can return .001 since price is 349.999. I hope they don't shortchange me.

Isn't this the company that first created the Swiss Army Knife?
It should come with a Class III burning LASER pointer (tech) too.
It just isn't the same without all those tools sticking out...
Lol, you'd probably get stopped if you tried to board a plane with one.
What ? Only USB?
No condom on a swiss army knife??
Should be genuine competition for those supposed "rugged" USB drives, prices are comparable too and as far as build quality goes the brand is impeccable.
It's not impervious to loss..

wow, I read that article wild9 on BBC....I can't believe the lax security that the MOD (ministry of defense) has.
MEH.
The reason for the lack of anything else is due to security laws. I mean, here in the US, a 1" knife blade is now a dangerous weapon.
Where's the traditional "Swiss Army Red"? If I pay $40 for a 4GB flash drive (and I won't), it should more authentically remind me of a Swiss Army Knife. Personally, I really think it should have at least included a tiny LED flash light or, better yet, an array of USB adapters.
Really, a Swiss Army Knife should come with everything. Their USB drives should work as usb splitters/hubs and attach to everything--even that weird shaped USB head that I keep thinking is a standard mini but doesn't actually work with anything.
This isn't news unless Mr Jobs is ready for some more ingenious innovation. Sounds like a great tool for the iAmsooooodumb.
