degradated Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 (edited) Gorgeous... My dream grippers Glad you're able to get it mostly sorted out, Jeff. As I understand there's still a few left to receive. I sent a message a while ago, but would really love to get my hands on as many of the GHP special editions as possible. A full set would be a dream but I know others want them too... Wouldn't be fair to hoard them all, but hopefully we can all come to an agreement. It looks like the remainder are Gen 2s, am I right?

JeffPeterson Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 I don't know how you can tell. from that angle, but you are right. There are special additions and then the other 7,8,9 and 10 are second edition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second gen has an angled chamfer at the top of the handles where the first gen is rounded and the finger separators are narrower. I had to study the pictures pretty intently to make that out from those images though... Edited October 4 by Slipshod 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also with very few exceptions, only 1st gen has two level stickers. 2nd gen has one level sticker and one USA sticker. I think I’ve seen one 2nd gen that actually had two level stickers so there might be others but seems very rare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the silver ones have thinner lines which are a dead giveaway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’ve seen one 2nd gen that actually had two level stickers so there might be others but seems very rare. Indeed, should clarify my comment wasn't the exhaustive list of differences, but based on how to tell from the photos provided (without seeing both handles). The thickness of the lines is only obviously a tell in comparison, or with physical access and a micrometer. Similarly with the stickers, if they are not present then these can also not be relied on. For me the angled chamfer would be the only consistent piece of information I would rely on without needing to double check. In theory someone could grind off a level 1 to make it angled, but not sure why anyone would deliberately lose value like that! This sort of information would likely be a great addition on the gripperpedia project, although for longer running producers like WT and IronMind, there may not be enough knowledge even among all of us to fully cover every iteration. Either way having that information could be valuable across the community, primarily for collectors of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
