Victorinox
Introduced in 2007, at the time, this Victorinox design was the world's smallest laser pointer. Its small size allowed it to be incorporated into scales of a 58mm Swiss Army Knife.
The design uses a laser diode 3.3 millimeters in size, the optics holder is made of solid brass, and all the contacts are gold-plated. It uses an embedded microprocessor to enable advanced power control to extend the life of the battery and the laser.
