The Multi Tasker is not produced by Paul Chen Hanwei Knives, it is simply marketed by them. The same tool was originally imported and marketed by Fiskars as the Excalibur Multi-Snip. It was produced under the Gerber patent for sliding plier jaws. Quality of construction is excellent for a Chinese built tool.
