Hi Antonis,I don't know anything about the green-scaled Nomad, but I just thought I'd share that I have a black Nomad. I bought it in a knife, pen, and pipe shop in Dublin Ireland in 2010. I've never seen a green one, so congratulations on a what seems like a rarer SAK.Myron
Nice and that you have a back up says a lot. I have backups in case of loss or retirement.

Antonis,Does your olive drab Nomad have the DE-GM 9305297 patent number on the shank of the blade?Myron
I like this knife a lot. It is slim, light, robust and very comfortable. The linerlock makes the blade very secure and the big cap lifter is SO usefull. Actually, the one on the foto is my sak in the work. I use it every day. I keep a second one, unused, new in the box. Love this color.
Here a picture of a 'military' flyer (dated late Nineties).These knives all have green handles!
Hi Myron. Yes it does. I think all the linerlock, 111mm Vic models have this patend No. I searched for this product code: 0.8353.4 but there is nothing in the interner. The last digit (4) is for the color/type of the handle. Nowhere a reference. The only thing i found is a video on you tube, of a german guy, who also wonders about this model.
Hey, I know that shop!

Don Pablo,If memory serves it's right around the corner from Trinity College, outside of the southern-most end of the campus I think? I almost bought a Peterson pipe while I was in there but resisted. I will always have the black Nomad and it will always remind me of Dublin, one of the truly great cities. Myron

Hi Antonis. Since I don’t know anything about that kind of SAK, I’ll just wish you a welcome to MTO.

I asked because my black Nomad that I've had for some time does not have the DM-GE number. However, I found a green one for sale recently and it does have the DM-GE number on the shank. It's a new-old-stock specimen and I couldn't resist it with the cool red shield! Here's my black Nomad. When the green one arrives I'll take a family photo for this thread.

Καλώς όρισες στο ΜΤΟ Αντώνη. Είναι φοβερό μέρος. Μόνο να, πρόσεχε το πορτοφόλι σου DE-GM 9305297 is a German Patent Registration number. https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,62222.msg1157231.html#msg1157231There are a few more threads on this, just search the forum with this number for further reading.Not all 111mm linerlocks have this stamp. It is found on the older, narrower profile blades.
Yup, it is. I went there a few times to stare at the SAKs. There is also an amazing pen shop not far away.Great? Well, I suppose that it’s in the eye of the beholder. Glad you had a good time.

We have enjoyed all of the many times we've been in Dublin. With a little luck I may find myself there again this coming June. I'll drop you a line and maybe we could meet for pints!
Waiting for some photos of your new beauty.

With its 111 mm brothers:(Image removed from quote.)The difference in blade shape between the black non-DE-GM blade and the green DE-GM blade is really noticeable in person.(Image removed from quote.)And of course no DE-GM number on my black Nomad. I wonder why not? (Image removed from quote.)One more just for fun:(Image removed from quote.)
