This Swiss army knife is not 9 inches in width with over 100 tools, it doesn’t double as a stapler, it’s not designed like a pen, it won’t glow in the dark, and it has no built-in USB drive – no, this Swiss army knife is simply filled with delicious chocolate. Yummy!

This delectable Swiss Chocolate Knife is made of the finest Swiss chocolate, and is filled with hazelnut praline. Featuring the Victorinox Swiss Army logo, this fine confection is modeled after the Swiss Army Spartan multitool.

The Swiss Chocolate Knife is yours for $3.25 from the Swiss Chocolate Knife website.

Swarovski, the Swiss Austrian company known for their precision-cut glass crystals, has now released a line of pocket binoculars decorated with shimmering crystals.

The design of the Crystal Pocket Binoculars creates an aesthetic alliance between innovative optics and stylish elegance and satisfies the highest ergonomic requirements at the same time. The eight times magnification and compact dimensions – (5.6 cm wide and exceptionally light at only 215 g ) – make the binoculars a versatile companion at the opera, at the races or out sightseeing.

An elegant leather case protects the high-quality optical system and increases the wear comfort. The shapely housing, studded with selected Swarovski crystals, turns the Crystal Pocket Binoculars into an exclusive eye catcher.

The “Idomeneo” model oozes a uniquely lustrous charm thanks to the application of sparkling gold-leaf; the design for “Tosca” captivates the eye with the shimmering, twinkling colours of the crystals used and the elegant “Nabucco” binoculars radiate a timeless beauty in dark colour tones.

The Swarovski Crystal Pocket Binoculars are priced at $950 USD each. All three models can be purchased from the Swarovski online shop.

A couple of months ago we saw the release of the 8GB Swiss Army Knife. Now you can get the famous multifunction pocket tool with a 16GB storage capacity, and they have even managed to squeeze in a LED flashlight this time.

The SwissFlash Flight 16GB Knife is yours for $212 from Victorinox Swiss Army.

This beautiful piece of jewelry is a concept by Charles Windlin, an industrial, interaction and 3D modeling designer from Winterthur, Switzerland.

The device holds 1400 spheres which consist of magnetic and decorative material one half each. By that every sphere could be turned in every direction and results in a display.

The display on the ring will show you the current time, your personal calendar and can “act as jewelry with morphing patterns that reacts to your input.”

We just had the Giant Swiss Army Knife entry and it’s already time for yet another product from the Delémont based Wenger company.

With the Swiss Business Tool ($100) they have removed the blade and moved into your office in the shape of a tool packed stapler.

This tool does not have the knife blade. The Business Tool comes with 2 packs of staples.
