Can anyone tell me if this SOG Trident is made in Japan or Taiwan?

I am looking at purchasing a SOG Trident knife. There are no country code markings anywhere on the knife. It has SOG Speciality Knives on one side and the Navy Seal markings on the other. It has a pommel nut that looks flush and comes with a leather sheath with sharpening stone. I was told the length is 11" and the blade is 6.25" but he was not sure about the blade. I have seen both the Trident S2 and the Trident 2.0. This looks like a hybrid of the two. Because of the price I would only want it if it was a Japanese model. Thanks

Pics would more than help. K KenHash knows his Sog stuff. Maybe he can help.
 
If the pommel nut is flush and has holes(?) running around it, it is made in Taiwan.
All of the S1/S2s that were made by Hattori in Seki have pommel nuts that protrude
above the pommel and have two slots on each side.
 
Yes, this particular knife has the flush pommel nut with 6 holes running around it. Going to pass on this one. Thanks so much for your quick response!
