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.

Rating : - Handy, but potentially disastrous
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.
