<p>Ron, in my photo, the flat Phillips is about halfway showing in between the saw blade and the scissors. Even has a Phillips head screw etched on the blade. The Swiss Outdoorsman also has a non-serrated locking main blade vs. the Serrated Outdoorsman. BTW, the flat Phillips blade on mine is in the same tool row directly opposite the main blade.</p>

<p>Hi, John!</p>
<p>I was between trying to post and my daughter calling. So forgive me...</p>
<p>I had added a comment about yours appearing to have a corkscrew instead of a Phillips screwdriver, and it disappeared? Anyway, I don't see a phillips on your knife? I do see a corkscrew. What am I missing?</p>

<p>Ron- I believe you are incorrect- The Sierra had a small clip blade which the Swiss Outdoorsman replaced with a flat Phillips screwdriver blade which mine has. In addition, the Sierra has a line guide on the fish scaler / hook disgorger blade. Mine does not have a line guide.</p>
