That's actually a Shrade knife too.  I am on my second version of this knife 
(lost the first one) and I love it, when I remember to bring it with me. 
Since my memory is going as I get older, I usually just use my mini swiss 
army knife because it stays with my car key and I always have it with me. 

But, the orange Shrade knife is a nice knife - lightweight, easy to find if 
you drop it and has a decent sized blade if you plan on doing any real 
cutting.
