OFFSET 1597 Stone Wash Jeans Version

[OregonEdge]

I recently picked up this MINT UNUSED XXX factory Second Offset as a Gift for my Dad's B-day... well, it was totally mint except a weird rough spot on the blade with was kind of oxidized. In the process of experimenting with sanding the area smooth, I got the idea to keep this as a user, give Dad the ZDP Cyclone... and try a little artificial wear to the blade in all the right spots... to kind of accentuate the countours of the blade. Crazy?... well, I love it! and it kind of matches the splattered paint of the handle. If they can do it to jeans...

Does stamped "XXX" on a blade mean Kershaws factory second?
