So these have probably been around for a quite a while, but I only saw a picture of them recently. It made me start to think of the usefulness of something like this.
I started thinking of when I use my USB key, and it seems like it wouldn’t be ideal to have it attached to a knife of all things. For me, USB keys are most handy when traveling to give a presentation - you never know when your computer just won’t connect to a projector. A USB key is the surest way to get your information to another computer. But attached to a knife… wouldn’t it get confiscated?
I don’t really use swiss army knives regularly, so I guess I can’t comment on the utility of having an additional gadget hooked on. It just doesn’t seem to fit in the context of most professional settings. Maybe it’s better for personal use?
you know carl had one of those, it seemed to come in handy as a usb key.. but i guess one could just get a usb key :P
it detaches from the knife tho, so i wouldn’t worry abt it being confiscated and such. i dunno… i thought it was pretty cool =)
Oh, right on Kayre, if it detaches then I suppose it wouldn’t be a big deal. Good to know!
