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.

I got mine sometime in the mid '90's at the Freeport LL Bean store, never could remember the model name,
It has the flat phillips blade but has a line guide on the fish scaler and the text is a little different,
not sure when the changes were made , It gets rotated with my other knives so it gets the pocket time it deserves.
