Retro would be awesome bring back the PST and Sideclip!!!!!!!!!!

Let me enjoy my "I own more discontinued models than in-production ones" joy a little longer than two months. ;) :D

They already did re-release the Sideclip - it's called the Kick! They never did really replace the PST though, which is a bit odd.


I would love to see an all metal Kick then.

So a Sideclip then?
I used to come here a lot.

You're right there - it is much more comfortable to use, thanks to the Zytel!

Wouldn't it be interesting if they made Zytel scales(like SAKs) that were optional for leathermans.

O come on comforts not everything  :D. I just think the Kick is too bulky of a tool to carry like I do. the Sideclip and the PST are perfect. I would be on top of the world if they built the PST with a clip setup like the Sideclip....similiar to my modification that I did.

Does anyone know if the Core got this much attention when it was first introduced?

Just what I'm looking for. Landed my second PST today and been thinking about the possibility of a clip... :think:
Any link to a "How to"..???

Remember, the Pulse was the "third" PST, just as the Core was the "third" supertool. Thus it would seem a re-invented PST should be on the way. Nothing filled it's slot - the Blast is too big and the Fuse too short on function.

They may seem flimsy but I haven't ever had them fail on me and I have probably used them more than any other MTs scissors :)

Well, thanks to a certain forum our demographic is larger and much more informed than we were in 2005.  ;)

I remember seeing some threads about the Core a few months after it came out over at Bladeforums and maybe a mention at the CPF multi forum but that was it. Seemed like not a lot of info was swapped about the tool or it's cousin the Surge. There just wasn't as much interest as there is now, nor was there any real good place to talk about tools. This forum is, and always has been a huge boon to our hobbyist community and the general user.  :tu:

The return to the more compact design is great, if only it was combined with outside opening tools...
