Ben what is a Marttini Lumberjack? I know what the LumberJack is..
Its a Scandi ground bushcraft knife :)

There's a picture of Ben trying to cut his finger of with it in the Break Room somewhere :D, apparently I sharpened it to much ::)

That'll be this one.  :D

Well I just got the confirmation mail from Cabela's - so it looks like you can add Cabela's Legacy PST to the list too :D  :cheers:

I looked and they're not advertising it now and searching for the catalog number returns "Item no longer available". Maybe I got the last one?  :o

 :salute: :cheers: Let us know how you like it  :D

Well, if I read the tracking website properly, it arrived at East Midlands airport this morning, ..... and is now on a plane back to Philadelphia - lol.

I used to come here a lot.

Do you know - I'm a little disappointed with it.

Cabela's 'Product Description' reads like this:

Quote from: Cabela's
To commemorate Cabela's 45th anniversary and our long-standing partnership with Leatherman, we're giving you a chance to own this limited-edition, numbered Leatherman PST® – the multi-tool that started it all. In 1984, Cabela's became the launch site for the multi-tool market when Jim Cabela signed the very first purchase order for a shipment of Leatherman PST tools. Although the PST has been out of production for a few years, Leatherman broke out the original dies to craft 500 of these classic tools. Each is inlayed with the handsome Cabela's Legacy logo in 24-kt. gold, numbered and packaged in a leather display box with a certificate of authenticity. Like the originals, these include a spey-point blade, awl, large and small standard screwdrivers, Phillips screwdriver, file and bottle opener.

Now when I read that originally, I thought they meant that the 500 tools would be made from the original dies, but they ain't, they're a bit of a hybrid, and clearly have been assembled from parts that LTG had lying around! I'll try and post up a proper comparison over the weekend, but the things I noticed immediately are:

- One handle is dated 0804, the other 1004
- The plier heads are more akin to the 2003 Pulse (stamped Tool - not USA), than the PST pliers.
- The numbers and the Cabela's and Legacy logos, appear to have been stuck on rather than "inlayed in 24-kt gold" - i.e. they feel raised like a sticker would.

Still, it's not like I bought it to fix the car with or anything, and it does look nice in that display box :D

My thoughts exactly Dave. :(  The Legacy is not exactly the tool Cabelas made it out to be. In addition to the points you made, the line that reads,
Quote
Like the originals, these include a spey-point blade.....
implies that the Legacy would have the original pattern knife, not just some old clip point blade they had leftover.

Ah well though, it still is a darn nice multitool.

1 x Case Pocket Knife

I also be bringing some stuff to trade if anyone's after any of the following:

1 x NIB Sideclip

1 x NIB Juice SC2 (Blue)
1 x Minitool

and a few new LM sheaths and Kick pocket clips.

Oh and a bunch of paracord for my 'lanyard making lessons' from Flash :D

I'm a little lacking in the pliers based MTs and certainly don't have anything that hasn't already been mentioned. Which leaves these  :sak:

Which SAKs would you like to see?  You'll probably pick ones I haven't got but better that than I try and type out what I have got.  I don't have much in the way of the larger locking knives as I like to be able to carry what I own  :-\  I will bring my Swiss B+ OHPESG Trekker.

Yeah, I know, I'm lazy  ;)

I'll also bring a few for swaps.  Again shout if you're after anything in particular.

Sorry Dunc, I traded mine away a while ago.  I've a few of the older 108mm ones.  The only OH SAKs I have left are my Swiss B+ and a Rescue Tool and I'm planning on getting rid of the RT as well.  Nothing wrong with it but with UK carry laws being what they are, I figure I'm better off with something less knife like for the car.  :(

I'll certainly bring a selection of the more unusual SAKs I have.

Not to worry if your bringing a rescue tool  :drool: I love them  :D Managed to have a play with one  in a shop a while back and thought it was great . Looking forward to that  :D You said your planing on getting rid of it ? do you have a buyer or trader ?

I'm attempting to thin out my knife collection at the moment.  So a lot of the stuff I can't casually carry has got the heave-ho

Did I see you've got a MiniTool you'd like to trade Dave.  I'm sure I must have something I can swap you for it :D

I'll be bringing a few SAKs as bartering material (there's a surprise) but I've no LM knives. 

I do have an old SuperTool I'd like to part with if anyone fancies a big old LM.

Hopefully - I'll have a mini to trade - yes!

I say hopefully, because it hasn't arrived yet, and I'm not sure what condition it will be in when it gets here, you see.

I currently have one with a chipped off corner on the screwdriver, and one in A1 condition. The plier heads are slightly different on them though, so I'll probably keep them both.

Assuming the new one arrives in time and turns out to be a duplicate, I'll be after offloading one!

I have other stuff though, and I might be interested in the Supertool, as mine has seen better days.

I'll definitely be more interested in Leatherman stuff if anyone fancies anything on my list!!

Haha - that's not fair on the guy. He did bring a Supertool with a view to a trade, it's just that it wasn't significantly better than the one I had already.

Neil - that Minitool is reserved here with your name on it should you ever find something you think I'd like ;)
