This Knife Opens Your Garage Door

Victorinox

It's a light, a nail file, a screwdriver, scissors, a key ring, and a remote control.

The new Swiss Army Knife can slice, dices and open your garage. 

Victorinox, the Monroe-based maker of Swiss Army knives, is unveiling a brand new product at the Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas this week. That's right, a knife at an electronics show!

The Victorinox Remote, as the company calls it, has a blade, screwdriver, nail file, a high-powered LED light and a transmitter. 

The transmitter actually learns the high-frequency signal of your garage door opener and allows you to open and close your garage door just by pressing a button on your Swiss Army knife!

A company release says that with added features, the knife will even turn on lights and more.

It's expected to be available to the public later this year.
