Swiss Army Victorinox - USB Drive 8 GB

I acquired the Swiss Army Victorinox - USB Drive in Green Alox several years ago and found it both useful as a storage device and for its aesthetic design, but since then have relegated it to a storage container as I have drives with much larger capacities and faster USB 3.0 speeds. This particular Alox model has since been discontinued and to my surprise these now sell for more than I paid for it and hovering near $50 - $70 for pre-owned.  I'm assuming this is more from a 'collectible' standpoint as while it still works fine as a USB drive and 8 GB is more than sufficient storage capacity for most non-media files, I have no use for it and perhaps its time to part with it? While beautiful in both its design and function, there are other things I'd prefer and considering using the funds from the sale to acquire either a Platinum Century 3776 fountain pen (to replace the one I lost years ago...) or a Pioneer Alox X knife.
