That’s a knife …
New from Victorinox, the Swiss Army company, a knife so hot it must have been designed by Q himself.
Called the Swiss Memory, this thing has everything you need to spy on the Democratic National Committee, destroy the Death Star or simply carry your PowerPoint presentation to the daily ops brief.
Among the various bells and whistles that come standard on Swiss Army products is an internal Memory Stick, 64 megabytes of memory with a Universal Serial Bus connector. Plug it in, download the goods and be on your way.
Sounds handy.
It also comes with an average-sized blade, nail file, screwdriver, scissors, tactical red LED flashlight and a retractable ball point pen. Perfect for putting some MacGyver back into your boring round of staff meetings.
How well does it work? Good question. We tried to get one and discovered they’re on back order. Maybe your local retailer has one, assuming you’re willing to shell out the $69 to give it a whirl.
Sounds expensive. But nobody said the spy game was cheap.
