Trying to find a pic. For over 30 years I carried a Wenger SAK that disappeared at my parents house. I thought it might have been a Nomad, but I'm mistaken after a lot of searching. I got it for my 7th birthday (I believe) in 1986. Definitely remember it was a Wenger, opening the box. My dad had a Victorinox, and when my great uncle gave this to me, I remember wondering what the difference in brand was.

For sure features:

Large locking blade
Small blade
Scissors
Wrench
Philips head
Flat/bottle opener
Can opener
Saw
Ream
Corkscrew
 
The Cyclist is close but has a nail file in place of the small blade. The Mustang model doesn’t have scissors but otherwise matches. Sakwiki has pics of both. I’ll look some more later today. It’s a nice tool combination, now I want one too. First one I find is yours.
Edited to add neither model I mentioned has the locking main blade.

It was really unique, probably some small production run. I remember cutting myself very badly with the little blade as a kid, still have the scar on my finger 30+ years later.
 
So after a lot of searching, I finally figured it out. It was a Wenger Nomad. Conflicting info on it, some say it had a locking blade, some said no. It appears not to have been made very long and finding one seems impossible. To compound the search is that Wenger has a watch called the nomad as well.
 
K.O.D. K.O.D. That’s the closest I can find based on your description. It doesn’t seem to have a wood saw either. Pretty cool combination of tools. I’ll keep looking but agree that they don’t seem very common.
