I have one of its predecessors (2GB USB 2.0 flash drives). Costed around $60 back then and it was worth it. There's hardly a day i don't use it.

After a very long time of daily usage one of the knifes broke. Totally my own fault. I sent Victorinox an email to thank them for their excellent product that lasted a long time of abuse. They replied to mail the thing to them so they could get it repaired for free. Everything was replaced, except the flash drive. Awesome thing, awesome service!

It's amazing that some companies can still do that. But then you get things like L.L. Bean ending policies because assholes are buying at Goodwill and then sending them in to be refurbed for free.

After a recommendation on HN, I carry one of these on my keychain: https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-BAR-Plus-128GB-MUF-128BE3/dp/... . Essentially indestructible, as everything is solid metal casing.
