-image-Hi-tech Swiss Army Knife ‘unhackable’

in the wee hours

Victorinox is a brand you may have heard your dad or grandfather speak of, and if you’re someone who associates closely with the outdoors, you may actually own one of their products. If we said “Swiss Army knife,” you’d know immediately what we were talking about, and sure enough Victorinox is the parent company that makes those knives.

In an effort to bring their latest knife into the current century in terms of relevance, they held an event in their European flagship store on London’s New Bond Street. The reason was to unveil something with a bit of old school flair and a bit of new school utility. The device shown here is an “un-hackable Secure Pro USB drive,” and it’s encased within a Swiss Army knife. In other words, this really can be your jack of all trades, as it can open that tough plastic container and store secret files.
