What's better than a Swiss Army Knife? A Swiss Army knife with a USB stick.
If you routinely carry such a stick around with you, the Victorinox@work Swiss Army knife ($99.95) is a smart and handy replacement.

Victorinox, makers of the original Swiss Army Knife, has included the usual suspects in this version – a blade, a file that doubles as a flat-head screwdriver, scissors and a ballpoint pen, all embedded in the signature red casing, as well as a very slim-line 16GB USB stick.
The stick can be unclipped and easily used in a USB port unencumbered by the weight of the knife. It can be replaced as needed, but I can see the plastic clip connecting it to the rest of the apparatus breaking with frequent use.
At almost six centimetres long and 1.7 centimetres thick, and with not too many "pull out" tools, the Victorinox@work Swiss Army Knife is small enough to easily carry around, or conveniently put on a keychain.
One very cool way to carry it is in The Cord Roll ($75) from lifestyle design company Afternoons With Albert. Made from hard-wearing leather (in French grey, tan, and jet black), The Cord Roll is a wallet-like pouch that keeps cords tangle-free and easily findable.
Beautifully designed to neatly store not just cords and cables but all the other little bits and pieces of tech that need to be carried around, such as chargers, earbuds, and memory cards. The Cord Roll also has a special pouch to store an Apple Airpod case.
Everything is kept together with thick leather loops, pulled tight, and then rolled up, neat as a pin.
