Thank you everyone! I've been after one of these oldies for a while. I pasted on one a couple years ago because it had a name engraved on it.and A dealer won it cheap and when he relisted it it sold for $300+ if I remember correctly. This seller had both pics of the back side. where you couldn't see the etched baled and blank handles except for the Pat#. His BIN price was high enough no one jumped on it. I'm not sure how I came across it as it was not listed as a PST, Tool, or Pocket Survival Tool. It was listed as a Leatherman utility knife. after asking some questions I bought it and hoped they were truthful. They were so now i finally have one.   :)

Congratulations !!!!  :drool:

Some of my best finds have been with listings with odd titles (that reduces the competition).  So these "white whales" are out there, you just have to keep looking (and hoping you find them first   :pok: ).  I'll keep looking ......

On mine the 0893 date code is more difficult to see than the 0993, but not like yours I'd say.  It's just as possible it's just not dated anyway.  So I'd say this seller's stash is likely made up of these older versions.  That was a pretty sweet deal then as far as I'm concerned :tu:

I won an interesting (very) old PST today, it had the usual old style tools, with the only stamping on the handles being the minimalist  "USA PAT 4238862".

What makes this "4238862-only" PST different (to the other two very similar PSTs I have) is that this one has "Leatherman USA" stamped on only one side of the pliers (and on the opposite side to the 4238862 on the handles to boot)

Has anyone else seen this before ?  Or have I picked up a factory error or something ?

For the photo enthusiasts, have a look at

http://www.ebay.com/itm/371039909116 and click on "See original listing"



And if you want some quiet amusement, check out the bidding by j***t ( 165 )   ::)

I won an interesting (very) old PST today, it had the usual old style tools, with the only stamping on the handles being the minimalist  "USA PAT 4238862".

What makes this "4238862-only" PST different (to the other two very similar PSTs I have) is that this one has "Leatherman USA" stamped on only one side of the pliers (and on the opposite side to the 4238862 on the handles to boot)

Has anyone else seen this before ?  Or have I picked up a factory error or something ?

For the photo enthusiasts, have a look at

http://www.ebay.com/itm/371039909116 and click on "See original listing"



And if you want some quiet amusement, check out the bidding by j***t ( 165 )   ::)


Nice score Greg! I was watching that one and would have made a run on it because of the plier head but had a bigger fish to fry. My guess is the plier head was a manufactoring error. They were so behind in orders in those days it proably got run any way. If the seller had of listed it better it would have gone much higher. I git a good laugh out of people who bid like J***t(165).

Thanks David. The mis-listings are the ones that often go cheaper than they would if they were listed with more relevant info in the title (and I'm perfectly happy with that state of affairs as it reduces the competition and therefore the price I end up paying if I win).

Would the "bigger fish" have been somewhat aged and in a Cabela's leather sheath by any chance ?   :pok:

Most likely.    :D  It was not list good either. Otherwise I proably would not have won it. Still paid a hefty price. If the PST had of been listed right it would have brought much more. Like you I'm always quite happy with miss listed tools.   :D

Just won an oldie on the bay of thieves:

US Pat 4 238 862

"Leatherman Tool" no (R)  "Portland OR"

Drop point blade

Left hand can opener

"Leatherman" only on pliers (no "USA" but I'm pretty sure it isn't Japanese)

"Cabela's" on sheath and stamped (not etched) on handle



and ....






wait for it .....








HOLLOW KNURLED SCREWS  !!!!!!!     :ahhh  :ahhh  :ahhh  :ahhh 
(I've been looking for one of these for what seems like forever)

I'm more than a little excited and anticipatory, and I can't wait to get my hands on this one (but I'll have to - Matt will see it well before I do)

Thanks David, I was hoping not too many big bidders would notice it, but if necessary I was prepared to pay over double what it ended up going for.  Mind you, I did invoke my "ebay buyers cartel" agreement with one of my usual competitors (thereby saving me $60  :tu:  ).

I'm hoping the "big dogs" are still snoozing for the next one I'd really like to win, but we'll see what happens when it ends  ;)
