Enjoy.
some people are never happy.. IT HAS TOO MUCH FOR THE MONEY
Looks clunky and cheap with the extra crap
so get this one, same price, free delivery, and it actually looks like a usb KEY
That is cool, I have to say. If only I needed a USB.
I guess I'll just buy it for the future? Yes, that'll do.
The future is now…
The future is now…
no that was the past

Bought that this morning at the discounted price :)
32GB Swiss army knife type thing doesn't state that it is USB3 so I would assume USB2.
However both the 64GB and the 128GB do state that they are USB3, not a bad price at all.
I'd say the 64GB and 128GB is the deal while the Swiss army knife thing is run out crap.
never assume, it is probably usb 1.0
Kmart has a 32Gb lexar for $16 in this week cattledog (page 9)

where is that macgyver when you need him to explain the value of this compared to that
LOL cattledog
Though that one is USB 2.
Not sure I'd buy any USB key without knowing the read/write speed. No point having heaps of capacity if you are not able to fill it up (or copy from it) in an acceptable amount of time.
Ditto.
The odds of this being a 4-6MB/s painfully slow drive are too high.
yes I totally agree, not much point having a large capacity USB stick if it takes 30min to copy stuff to it.
agreed - ill stick to the sandisk extreme usb 3.0 keys for a extra few dollars
where can we get these? link please, cheers.
thats an SD card mate…
Got 2 sandisk extreme 32gb USB 3 for $55 delivered from OW who pricematched this when this was on http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/83922
bought the tiny 32gb sandisk stick I saw here at OB and regret is the name of the data transfer speed…
But cant take your usb on the plane with you
ha! hadn't thought of that! snap!
You can't say 'snap' if you didn't think of it. :-P
I think he was 'snapping' himself :P
I think he meant <slap>
now i can stab robots and steal data out of their brains
pfft… try doing that with zombies… :(
they could have included more IT friendly tools, as well as a smaller usb
Yeah, I would be sold if it had the usual screw drivers
Dude this one is crape, just 2 tools and a light

I have the original Victorinox one that looks the same as this. The Victorinox quality is great but this being a replica you have no idea what you will get.
i bought one last time, i iniitally thought it is a Victorinox Swiss Army knife, but it turns out not be the case. The quality is okay, but i don't really trust the quality/longevity of the USB drive on these.
Ever perform any speed tests?
no i didn't use the usb drive much.
No,
but it did cut a Post-It note in half in just under a second.

Include the keyboard dock and we're getting crazy.
Just ordered one for the hell of it.
I understand that it is USB 2.0, but will that be fine as a Linux Live-USB?
Yes
yes, I had Linux on it too.
MacGuyver wouldn't use this copy…besides, he is still analogue (bah digital).
wish the 128gb didnt use a cap hate having the connector exposed
The USB retracts completely into the knife. The cap is not exposed.
The one that looks like a key seems pretty interesting, to me anyway.
if i attract a cops attention as to why i have a pocket knife, can i say i only use it as a usb and get away with it?
I love how in the e-mail the title is "Back to school…"
I had this in the 4GB version, I received it some 2 year ago. It is very cool, unfortunately I keep forgetting that they are actually a knife and they keep getting confiscated (with good reason) at airports. I did forget often to even declare them, i must have flown 12 times with one attached to my key chain.
So I recommend this but not if you fly often.
EDIT: I actually had the Victorinox Swiss Army, not sure about the quality of this one.

Somehow I have a feeling that USB will snap like a kit-kat if you place any pressure on it.
do people really still buy from Kogan?
Hey why is everyone commenting on the USB
Can anyone tell me if like the knife is really sharp or if it can be used as a toothpick
or if the scissors can cut a Post-It note in half in less than a second?
Yay I bought 2! :D
Got mine today. It's not a knife, it's a letter opener. I am trying to make it a knife with my diamond sharpener. I am not having much success.
The 128GB arrived today. Looks like some generic piece of sh1t.. plastic cheap feel. Works well for the price though. It max's USB2 speeds and writes @ 60, reads @ 100 over USB3.
sounds like you got ripped off?
but then again, what do you expect from Kogan.
Considering the write/read speeds, I'm impressed. I figured they'd just throw some USB2.0 10-20MB/s junk in there.
yer just saw that. its actually pretty good. i take back my comment.
Because all the extra stuff on the USB is needed.
