Sakai made?

I know some time back, Kershaw had a model they called the Two-Can, a novel two bladed knife, which had one Wharncliffe blade, and a second that could be deployed to turn the knife into a pair of scissors. G. Sakai, a venerable Japanese maker continues to offer a virtually identical knife, also made in Japan, called the Musashi.
Other than Kershaw markings, the only major difference is that the Sakai shows a full patent number, 6,877,229, which is assigned to G. Sakai. The Kershaw instead just shows "Patent Pending".

So was the Two-Can simply a rebranded Sakai?
