It's a SOW Santa's Outlaw Wicked
You captured most of the differences; the recurve is so slight on some SOWs that it is almost unnoticeable while the clip point is pretty significant. The other main difference is the SOW has a full flat grind and the SFNO is saber ground. Of course the obvious difference is limited handle colors for the SOW; I have seen red G-10, olive drab/black G-10 (2007 SE), blue/gray G-10, and black paper micarta (there might be others).I guess I wasn't paying attention to those old ganzaaas, because I thought a SOW was just an SFNO with Red G10 handle that came out around Christmas 2006.
Is it a bit of a clip point and a little recurve that makes it a SOW?

Also like the 2008 SE,but I haven’t found one until now.Good luck, I like the 08 collection a bit more. That satin and g10 combo are sweet. It’s not as many knives tho.
Amazing!Which 2008SE set?
