Only the sportstore sites carry it as a camp knife, and none of the traditional knife sites seem to know about it.
I finally was able to order one online through Amazon, from Fogdog.
It was introduced in 1999 by an old French company, Facosa, as an innovation of the new millennium.
They introduced a new line of twin-blade knives called the "Cote a Cote", (side by side), and treated it as a sort of new idea.
This makes me think that the French are traditionally a one-blade knife country so a twin-blade may well be new for them, and maybe it was the US who first introduced the concept of the multi-blade knife.
This is all random conjecture on my part, in an effort to find out more from those who really know.
There is also a Facosa Splash(stainless) and a Coyote(wood handle)
I like it because it reminds me of the G.W. Sears moose, except the Facosa has a serrated blade and the handle is polyurethane with the usual French ring-locks.
Notice the handle grooves and handle "waist".
I don't know if the serrated blade point is a screwdriver or not.
The picture is the only one that seems to be circulated around the US sites.
By the way, I thought I should mention that, like the Sears axe, the facosa serrated blade is for tougher cutting and the other blade is for the finer cuts.

He'll learn one of these days, maybe.
