Victorinox Slim, Slim Duo, and Slim Flight debuts

What might Victorinox be doing at the CES (Consumer Electronic Show) in Las Vegas in 2011? Building upon its successful SwissFlash which it introduced several years ago, Victorinox announced Victorinox Slim, Victorinox Slim Duo, and Victorinox Slim Flight.

These products are high performance portable data storage devices that not only provide up to 64 GB (2x64 GB for Slim Duo) of detachable storage for important files, images, and presentations, but also secure data encryption technology that can only be accessed through a personal password.

On the more practical side, the Victorinox slim and Slim Duo also include all the standard pocket knife functions you might expect in a pocket multitool, such as blade, nail file, scissors, and key ring.

Another model, the Victorinox Slim Flight has all of the same capacity storage options as the Victorinox Slim, but is blade-less, making it TSA friendly at airports. The Flight model is even smaller and lighter than the standard Slim and Slim Duo.

The Slim, Slim Duo, and Slim Flight will be available in the April/May 2011 timeframe. The Swiss Knife Shop will carry all models as soon as they become available.
