Very good eye sir.

That style of blade would gain an extra inch or so and would eventually become that particular modle. The knife in the picture only has a 2 inch blade. The handle, at the time, was pretty impressive stuff. The wetter it gets, the "stickier" it feels. Covered in grease, water, sweat, whatever, makes the grip feel tacky and sticky in your hand. It's rubbery and spongy. My knife was a first generation of a new style.

The second generation the blades were thinned out just a little bit, extended to 3 inches and 3 3/4th inches depending on the model. The back edge of the knife became straighter. They also slowly phased out the "squared" tip going for something a bit more pointed. Prices dropped considerably with the next few production models. Sort of like when the Leatherman was first introduced, the prices were astronomical, insane, and quickly dropped down to a much more reasonable price. Also, the grips went from being somewhat spongy to being hard as a brick. I am not sure why, I actually liked the soft squeezeable grip. Less stress on the hands during certain jobs. Also, I personally didn't like the change to a more pointed blade. I am not sure why, but I like the squared off tip on the one I have.

They also made a folder, which I wasn't impressed with at all. I really hate to say it, but it felt... Chintzy. The metal frame that housed the blade, it would press in to your fingers uncomfortably when you sqeezed the rubberised grip. Which was just rubbery. None of the sticky feeling of the earlier generations. The metal frame was also thin, and bent easily if you squeezed to hard.

I wonder if Mora makes a wee knife.
