I’m sure you know what Victorinox is famous for. Yes, they made a huge line of Swiss knives that also might contain tools, flashlights, nail files, openers, etc. At CES Leo learned that business at Victorinox suffered when airport security started banning pen knives. So the company started altering their line to include non-knife gizmos. For his Turn The Table Tuesday this week Leo showed his Victorinox Flash Flight Alox. It looks exactly like a small Swiss knife but inside the durable aluminum housing is a neatly concealed USB drive. There’s no knife blade, so it’s perfectly fine to go through security at the airport. In use, just remove the drive from the housing and you have yourself a nifty, tiny flash drive with 2, 4, 8, 16 or the latest – 32GB of memory. That’s the one Leo has, 32GB. He’s taking on his three week trip so it will give him a ton of memory to store hours of HD video and thousands of photos. It even has LED lights on the Victorinox logo to show you when the flash drive is working. It blinks red when the drive is reading or writing, and turns green when the drive is in the write protected mode. Available in aluminum or red plastic case. Prices start at about $30 for the early 1GB model and run up to about $170 for the 32GB Flash Flight Alox. It’s best to do a web search for the lowest price.
