Leatherman Vista / Hybrid knockoff?

Damn cheap, looks damn cheap anyway, and from the size of the sheath, and arrangement of the tools, I would say non-folding...not much of a knockoff.

Here's an ironic twist: I first saw this tool (not marketed by Woolworths though) about three years ago. Which is at least a year before the Vista/Hybrid.

So who is knocking off who?  ;) :)



(by the way, it is indeed a hunk of poo-poo quality wise)

Hmm that is an interesting concept, what is the true knockoff? Maybe one way to think about this is that it is an 'idea' which is knocked off, how? well if someone makes a crap tool then they are not doing the idea justice, whereas if someone comes along, later, and makes a damn good tool then they are doing that idea justice, hence the former would be thought of as a knockoff rather than the latter.
