I would like to know if they are kind of rare or just didn't take off, year they were manufactured.
I like it cause it is different and i really haven't seen to many. Thanks for your help, can always get questions answered here.

I like the blunt nose, I have the slide switch also but no yellow open /close. Gave the sheath a test run but it is bulky, rides well in a cargo pocket. I don't think I will let this one go, way to cool of a tool !!

I've got a well used one round here somewhere too - they are clever little things.

For $11 I'd say you got a great deal :tu:

They're a neat item, and a lot handier than the larger SwissGrips. The plastic-handled versions are reasonably common, but $11 is a great price.  :tu:

I agree.  The pocketGrips are spring loaded and quite handy.  The SwissGrips aren't and are actually a bit difficult to manage, imo.
