 It's more for looks than function. July 25, 2007

When I bought this, I traveled somewhat frequently. With that said, this is a PITA in a laptop bag (where *ding* it's supposed to be), and if you forget it's in there, kiss it goodbye at security. Besides that, there are a few other things that I don't like about this thumb drive. 1) It takes a few months to get used to how to put it back into the knife. It's rather counterintuitive. If you take it out and keep it out of the knife, it's easy to lose, but if you don't as you use it, the plastic holding it in the knife will bend/break. 2) It's REALLY easy to breach the plastic hooks that hold it in the knife. I haven't done it, but I've been very close. 3) It's really on a conversation piece. If you need a knife, then you most likely don't need a thumb drive, and if you need a thumb drive, you most likely need a bigger thumb drive. But it has a sharp blade and scissors that don't work all that well as nail clippers. It also has a nail file that is too short to really be effective. And the light is cool for McGyver situations where anything will work in a pinch, but not a light to use if not absolutely necessary. The pen is also difficult to write with, but again, it will do in a pinch.
Other than that, everyone thinks it's cool and the thumb drive is reliable.
 Very Handy! July 9, 2007

I purchased one of these when they first came out. The USB drive is great to always have on hand - I can receive computer notes from presenters at conferences, move large files easily, and carry many utility programs with me. The traditional knife, scissors and nail file are handy and the pen is great - never without a way to scribble a couple of notes. The only downer is the weak red LED, but that is a bit picky. Great tool.
Perfect for the Man who has everything! July 8, 2007

My father is a 77 year old techno-geek. He has always been VERY hard to shop for. However, the one low-tech item he never goes anywhere without is his swiss army knife. So, when I found this flash drive, it was the perfect gift. He works with CAD, and so when he needs to move a file, it's a big one. This will help him a great deal. However, since he does travel with his job, I wish I had thought to get the Flight version. Oh well, he can always check the drive.
Overall a great product July 6, 2007

This item makes a great gift or a nice splurge for yourself. It's definitely got the "cool gadget" factor as well as actually coming in handy. I love mine and bought one for my husband who also loved the gift. He started carrying it around with him the same day. Once I accidentally had mine in my purse at the airport instead of in a checked bag. I clicked off the removable USB, dropped that back in my purse, and mailed the rest to myself rather than forfeit it to security because I couldn't bear to part with my cool toy.
