I really hate to rain on your parade and be a Delbert Downer but your knife is not a 1st Gen. Sorry partner. The small clip blade has been re-profiled.woodwalker wrote:Received in the mail today a first Generation 72 today. I always wanted one and now I do. Thank you Greg!!

Re: A gift from GSMITH
You know ,I just noticed that myself. I do believe I may have sent the wrong one. I Think that may be one I got from Randy where the Pen had been reprofiled like a coping blade. I will have to rectify that for Woodwalker who is the real hero here anyway. Here is the swing guard he sent meand it has re beautified this old Case.

Re: A gift from GSMITH
Mike, I passed High School Freshman French class with a D-. I sighed a breath of relief and never went near it again until the late '90s when my favorite Aunt and I went to Paris (Linnea was "too busy to go". Her loss and I think she has regretted it ever since.). The amazing thing was that what little I learned in that class that had lain fallow for 40 years but it stood me in good stead for that trip. I wasn't able to communicate freely of course but I could stumble through some really basic stuff and they seemed to appreciate me trying enough to help out with what English they had (which was a bunch more than what French I had).Meridian_Mike wrote:jerryd6818 wrote: Au contraire mon frère.
I only have two of the first gen's. Greg has all of the rest. He's a genuine, dyed in the wool, hoarder.
Shame on you Jerry...... speaking in foreign tongues so I won't understand you....LOL.

Carmillus: I really don't know much about them. Only what Greg said in his letter to me that came in the box. He said it was a first gen.??

Re: A gift from GSMITH
Jerry I really like the knife and I like Greg a whole bunch to. First gen or not I really think that is the finest piece of cutlery I own. No rain here! But I do thank you for the info. Now if I can find the courage to stick it in my pocket!! Thank you Greg!!jerryd6818 wrote:I really hate to rain on your parade and be a Delbert Downer but your knife is not a 1st Gen. Sorry partner.
