Came across this combo at Home Depot .......
SuperKnife with wood inlay Now it says it's a Husky, but sure looks like a SuperKnife to me. Maybe they contracted it out, bought the rights for it or because it's a lock-back and not the traditional SuperKnife liner-lock, got around the patent.

Anyhow, I think it looks nice in the picture with the wood inlays.

Here are the particulars if the URL doesn't work right.

No, not contracted out. Husky is to superknife as Gerber multi tools are to leatherman.
I have seen them in the stores,though, and they dont look bad. Price is the same, as well.
 
I have the regular Husky model. It's made in China. It's a little tough to open with the thumb stud that may be because it's fairly new. Not bad for $10.
 
I have the Husky version... I like it best of all because it's got a relatively solid lockup and the easiest blade change mechanism.
 
Well the pivot pin looks like the one on the superknife, but the blade change mechanism reminds me more of the Meyerco knife designed by Blackie Collins which has an assisted opening and a button lock. This one is also made in China but cost about $19.00. I really like the Meyerco because the handle is full size so gripping it feels better, but in the end I favor the superknife because it uses thicker blades which unfortunately won't fit the Meyerco.
