Looks like a nice example of the very rare "hollow rivets" JPST  :tu: :hatsoff:

I didn't even know what I was buying at first.  Came over here and found out by reading the 44 page PST thread.  :tu:

Thank you LoopCutter.
I've had a multitool since 1986.  First a Victorinox Camper, then various other models and other makes even Leatherman, but somehow this PST never got on my radar.
It has now and I think they're great!  :cheers:

My Dad had one of the very first ones back in 1983.  I lost it unfortunately  :facepalm:  There's a simplicity to them that is so appealing to me.  SteveC found a nice JPST for me on the Bay, and I love it.  I like the older ones best, but I have a couple of newer ones.

Permission to join?
Last week I found one by chance on the Bay over here. I was actually looking for something else  :D
I received it today.
Am I guessing right it's a late '87 or '88 ?

The supposedly barely used JPST had some issues though. The large and medium flat head screw driver were twisted, the wire cutters had a little indentation and the philips wasn't looking good. Got that all sorted now as good as I could  :P











The finish on one of the pliers mounting arms looks a little funky...





The knife blade seems unused.
How long were these made by Gerber? They were, weren't they?





The philips is not pretty but is working fine now...











Sorry for the pic galore !  I'm just so happy  :D

Just seeing the question about the blade, Stitchy  :salute:

I think those were made in Japan :think: and LM made their own blades in the US but used Gerber to heat treat them :tu:

Interesting story Tim told me about Gerber heat treating the blades was that as the volume of blades increased throughout the years, Gerber realized that there was a viable market and followed LTG into the Multitool market.
