Leatherman PST chronology project

[David]

The no dates with the file double cut to the outside seem to mostly be as the one in your pic but not all of them. I found some like that with 93 and 94 date codes also.

Dunc I`ll go see if I can find some PSTs to check the files. I`ll be back in a bit.

Thanks David

You guys are doing great on this chronology project!!!!!!! It's been really helpful.

 David Hi,    I am interested in better picture's of those cabela's tool's with sheath's.   Did you just find them or did you have them? I would love to get my hand's on a sheath like that for my old cabelas pst. I never see them come up for auction. The old cabelas seem's to be much more scarce than the pocket survival tool.

[David]

Stack the top sheath came from Dennis. It had no tool with it. The bottom sheath had the riveted PST that is pictured with it. I won it off ebay a while back. I`ve seen one other on ebay and it had a riveted PST with it also. I`m assuming the riveted PST`s from Cabelas had logo`d sheaths since the PSTs were not logoed. Until we get more intel that`s all I know at the moment.

 Thank's  for the info and picture. I think I did see the one one ebay awhile back that was the riveted tool.  I will have to keep my eye's open for one.   Very

Something I noticed the other day is there doesn't seem to be as much clearance in the lanyard rings on the older model i.e you need a smaller ring to go through older models . Its not the size of holes its more the angle but you can't really see by looking . I only noticed while trying to attach some lanyards .

I posted this one in another thread, its date code is 1297.  I bought it new in early 1998.

The PST that you are showing is the PSTII that came out in 1996,the original PST did not have the scissors or the diamond file,the PSTII is still one of my favorites,I'm EDCing it now.
