The USB Balisong [Updated]

Every time I tell myself “Okay, no more novelty USB keys,” someone comes out with one I absolutely must own. But how can I turn down a USB key modelled after the balisong (a.k.a. butterfly knife or Batangas knife), a creation from my dad’s home province of Batangas and the greatest Filipino contribution to bad-assery?

Where You Can Get One

The knife company Benchmade sells this USB key for US$30. Alas, its capacity is a mere 2 gigs.
