I don't know if it's the "official brand name" one that's sold on TV or not, but I do have one of those.  It was a gift from my mother in law, and honestly I wouldn't recommend it.  Spend $20-30 on a decent hacksaw instead.

This one isn't it... when I opened the box, the blade was wedged into the screw that holds it in, not in the slot it was supposed to be in.  It actually came assembled, but assembled badly.  It's hard to describe exactly what the problem was, but trust me, it was something I would never accept from Leatherman, SOG or even Gerber.  It was designed for people like my mother in law to give out as presents to people who try really hard to smile and not roll their eyes when they open the box.  They say "it's the thought that counts" and I suppose they are right, but until the cow has a thought, I'll never be able to prove it.
