25TH ANNIVERSARY

[Dunc]

Dont you think it would have been a good idea for Leatherman to re release the original PST for their 25TH Anniversary with an inscription engraved on it ? Or do you think they have thrown away all the tooling to make them ?

Nope- the PST's we got at the show seem to have been newly minted.  They used the PST's to commemorate previous anniversaries though so they probably wanted to try something else.

I suspect there is probably a few thousand unused PSTs still sitting in old stock around the world's many stores.

Doing a 25th Anniversary PST would be a signal to "look back on what we've done."
Doing a 25th Charge is a subtle signal to "look at what we will do."

It's marketing, and probablly a very good idea. Everybody knows what Leatherman has done, but many people still carry their old tools.

I got a PST from Nomad and I havent handled one  in years. I would not be against a re release of the tool. I kinda felt a warm glow when opening the new owl pst..... Kinda like going home.(oh my god do I sound like a nancy)

Are they really that rare?

Huh.

[hawkchucker]

PST isnt really rare. It is just that the price of them never really seem to go down. You still see them reg. go for over $30. Well for 25$ I can go to wallmart and get another kick to have trampin around the places I stash them.

$30? 

I paid five times that! (In AU dollars, which are worth significantly more than 20 US cents.)

Im tellin ya we are all going to send you and Dingos run stuff like we do for refuges. You guys seem to be gettign raped on the prices of your tools.

So look for the planes with the LM logo and run to the parachutes.

[Sea Monster]

I understand the Poms have the same problem.

I'm sure there's a legitimate reason - though it seems it could be USA specific, because German stuff I get is reasonably priced.

[hawkchucker]

Well look into the Marmount tools. They still interest me.

But up here they are more than the pst.

[Sea Monster]

I gave that a bit of research, I have not found anyone who imports them here (yet)

[hawkchucker]

Only found the one place here in the states. I guess I will have to try it out. Seems I might be the first here to post picks and review.

[Sea Monster]

What's the place called?

If you do get one, checked the box for any "Imported By X for Y" notes.

[hawkchucker]

They are out of san hose ca.
