I've also got an original 1st production run of the Randall's model 1 folder. No sharp edges where there shouldn't be, great blade shape and steel, no complaints. I've also got an emerson cqc7b. It's great as well, feels really good in the hand. BUT I also don't really like the chisel grind. Have been threatening to make it a conventional V grind, but haven't done it yet. I've got other knives to carry before I go making such a major mod to one in this price range.
