A standard swiss army knife consists of tools such as a knife, scissors, screwdriver, and file. Swiss brand Victorinox has managed to add another very useful tool the standard knife, a USB flash drive. What exactly do you get when you combine a Victorinox pocket knife and a Swissbit USB flash drive? The Victorinox SWISSMEMORY.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/victorinox/01.jpg"></a><a href="atruereview/victorinox/01.jpg"><img src="atruereview/victorinox/01th.jpg" width="250" height="204" border="0" alt="Victorinox SWISSMEMORY Knife"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left"><b>Packaging:</b></p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/victorinox/02.jpg"><img src="atruereview/victorinox/02th.jpg" width="250" height="205" border="0" alt="Victorinox SWISSMEMORY Knife"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">The SWISSMEMORY comes packaged in a colored retail box. The front of the box has a window which allows you to see the SWISSMEMORY with the flash memory expanded. The sides of the box feature an introduction to the product in 7 different languages. The back of the box features the specification and contents lists along with some pictures of the SWISSMEMORY. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/victorinox/04.jpg"><img src="atruereview/victorinox/04th.jpg" width="192" height="250" border="0" alt="Victorinox SWISSMEMORY Knife"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p align="left">Inside, the pocket knife and the accompanying accessories are held place by plastic crevices. Printed on the inside of the box is a guide on how to remove the flash drive from the pocket knife, if ever needed.</p> <p align="left"><strong>Contents:</strong></p> <ul> <li> Pocket knife with USB flash memory</li> <li> USB extension cable</li> <li> Instruction guides</li> </ul> <p><strong>Specifications and Features:</strong></p> <ul> <li> Dimensions (with nothing expanded): 60mm (L) x 17mm (widest W) x 18mm (H)</li> <li> USB 1.1/2.0 interface</li> <li> Compatible with Windows 98/SE/ME/2000/XP, Max OS 8.6 and higher, Linux kernel 2.4x and higher</li> <li> Mobile and secure</li> <li> Portable, lightweight and rugged</li> <li> The SecureLOCK software will keep your data safe from unauthorized access (www.swissbit.com/securelock)</li> </ul> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/victorinox/03.jpg"><img src="atruereview/victorinox/03th.jpg" width="250" height="43" border="0" alt="Victorinox SWISSMEMORY Knife"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><strong>Description:</strong></p> <p>At first glance, the SWISSMEMORY looks like just an ordinary Victorinox pocket knife; albeit a bit thick at 18mm. The two sides of the SWISSMEMORY are made of a transparent red plastic with one side baring the Victorinox logo. The logo is actually a button that when pressed, activates a very bright red LED on the closest round edge. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/victorinox/05.jpg"><img src="atruereview/victorinox/05th.jpg" width="250" height="65" border="0" alt="Victorinox SWISSMEMORY Knife"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>The red plastic on the other side has a pen built into it. The pen expands and contracts out of the same side as the LED. It is controlled by a gray slide on one of the adjacent long edge. The pen and LED combination allows you to write in total darkness.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/victorinox/06.jpg"><img src="atruereview/victorinox/06th.jpg" width="250" height="72" border="0" alt="Victorinox SWISSMEMORY Knife"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>Sandwiched between the two red plastic sides is a 35mm knife, scissors, file, and a Swissbit USB flash drive. The tip of the file features a flat stub which acts as a standard screwdriver. The USB flash drive sports a clear plastic housing with Swissbit and the memory capacity printed on it in silver. A gold plated USB head helps resist corrosion. When closed, the tip of the drive is protected by a clear pivoting cover built into the SWISSMEMORY. Attached on this cover is a small key chain loop.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/victorinox/07.jpg"><img src="atruereview/victorinox/07th.jpg" width="250" height="81" border="0" alt="Victorinox SWISSMEMORY Knife"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> <br> </p> <p align="right"><a href="atruereview/victorinox/swissmemory.php"></a> <a href="victorinox/swissmemory.php">Next (Performance & Conclusion)</a></p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> </div> <div id="footer" class="clr"> <div class="rk-1"> <div class="rk-2"> <div id="the-footer"> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
