Atlantic Salt

Which generation of Atlantic Salt has Atlantic Salt written on the blade and which one has the H1 icon?

Just curious as I am thinking about picking one of these up off of flea bay.

Thanks

I think the Atlantic generations go like this:

1st: Atlantic Salt

2nd: H1

The Pacific Salt started with nothing on the blade (some of these had rust issues with a washer at the pivot-mine did) then went to "Pacific Salt" and then "H1." It also underwent a jimping change behind the thumbhole, recently.

I also noticed the finish changed somewhere during production. The older ones were more polished but this showed off H1's propensity to scratch a lot more so I think they went to a coarser polish. You can sort of see it in this picture:

Thanks, I thought that was the progression but I wasn't sure.
