Looks similar to the One-Hand Trekker. They could have just bought the camo version.

My latest survival knife (kept in my EDC backpack alongside a mini RSK Mk1 in yellow) is from swissbianco on bladeforums. It's a One-Hand Trekker in day-glow yellow with the Philips screwdriver removed and replaced with a corkscrew. I've never liked that philips and I have used the SAK corkscrew a number of times. Every serious survival knife needs a corkscrew wink

Interesting, at least to me, that the blade appears to be serrated, pretty hard for a user to re-sharpen when needed...

IIRC, only the front half is serrated. The back half is a straight edge.

Hmm. I've been thinking about picking up a SAK for when I tote my K31 around. Just to make me feel more Swiss-like.

There appears to be nothing new about the knife - it's the SAK one hand trekker.

I like how the rear half is non-serrated I always thought that's how it should be as I use that part a lot, and it's easier than using the tip for non-serrated. As far as sharpening you could use the red 2$ tool from wally-world to make a SAK blade razor sharp. Only pull it 1/2 way wink

Don't see any tweezers/toothpick. Wonder if it is locking and if
it is any smaller. I am always seeming to need a phillips driver.
It is the one thing that keeps me from using a SAK farmer.
