Thread: "Classified" Genco Expert?

I have one that says similar and always wondered about that.

This is purely a guess but it is possible that the blade was a prototype for a new production method and made it into one of the execs or design teams private collection after the production method went into place.

Perhaps it is the other meaning of Classified as in that one was Classified "Expert" and others were Classified "Amateur" or "Professional"

Thanks Glen, another good possibility. I can tell you that it's cleaning up nice. Looks to have seen a hone before, but not much. The blade tightened up nice in the scales, and is looking pretty good after some simichrome polish. The size (6/8), super hollow grind, and blade shape look identical to my fluid steel.

If I have time to hone it this week I'll report on if it's "classified" as an expert shaver.

I bet she shaves a bit hehehe I haven't run into an undamaged Genco/Geneva that didn't impress me, let us know

Well, had the night to myself for a change... so I skipped the dishes and honed up the new blade!

Took a little while to hone out a small patch of tarnish/goo off the tip of the toe, but after that it was smooth sailing. No surprises here, she's going on the Genco keeper shelf for sure! Posting a SOTD shortly...CLASSIFIED: sweet shaver

CrazyCloud - I have a 6/8 Fluid Steel also. If this blade is like the FS, you're gonna be one happy guy. FS is the closest thing I have to the Duck Special #1 - super hollow. Demands and rewards a light touch, and gives outrageous shaves. 'Grats on the find.
