This is a simple little keychain tool that sells for about $10 US dollars, whereas a full size folding knife like a Benchmade Rift is much larger, with a blade which locks using their proprietary "axis" lock system. The difference in price between something like this is quite a lot as well. I really like the Gerber Artifact though, and their "Shard" tool is a newer version which looks very similar, but does not have the blade. You can find the Gerber Artifact or Shard as I said for around $10 or $12 USD, whereas a Benchmade Rift, or something similar might sell for at least $140 USD, but of course Benchmade is known for their superior quality and USA manufacture. I am a big fan of their knives, expensive as they are, you cannot go wrong with a brand like benchmade, or even Kershaw, Spyderco and several other big name brands.

At any rate it looks really neat and I enjoyed reading your post.
