From the makers of the original Swiss Army Knife, this 2-1/4-inch-long tool combines the Swiss Army Knife’s renowned versatility and a removable 256 MB USB memory stick for storing and transporting data such as music, photos, and text files.

Displaying the Swiss Army Knife’s famed Swiss-flag logo of white cross against a red background, the rugged silver Alox housing also holds a knife blade, a combination nail file and screw driver, a scissors, a retractable ballpoint pen, a LED mini light, and a key ring. Accompanying the tool is a USB cable for connecting the memory stick to PCs and MACs.

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.
