Q? Why do the Japan PST's have rivets instead of sexbolts? what was the reason behind?
Logically for me, LMN used sexbolts in order to be able to ease the repair process due to the warranty offered, yet the rivets, contradicts this logic (in my mind)
So, what was so special about the Japan/(maybe Asian) market.

It was just easier for them to get rivets back in those days vs the knurled screws :cheers: LM had such a high demand for the PST that they couldn't handle the orders coming in so they had to outsource them to keep up with the demand  :salute:

Hmmm, From manufacturing point of view it makes sense to use rivets instead of screws, possible the machines and raw material were at hand, and no screw producer had to be found. This for Japan.
Yet than, if the demand was so high, why not use rivets in the US too, because... Altough the production line was, using rivets could help the building time and also drop the manufacturing cost

:shrug: It may boil down to the fact that LM had enough of the screws for what they were producing in house but not enough to send to the Japan manufacturing :dunno:

What's up all - new member and new Leatherman obsessive. Been stalking this thread in particular for a while as I try to build a vintage collection. I've got a very small collection so far - hunting a 1983 Cabelas currently. This thread is absolutely invaluable.....

My search has shown me that another potential factor of change is the sheaths; earlier iterations had more basic Leatherman stamps vice the Leatherman with the TM mark on the sheath. This after the Cabelas stamp, obviously. I'm not sure when that happened but it seems to have been in the mid 80s. Anyone have any more input? OP doesn't seem to talk about it.

I'll post a pic of the collection once some missing pieces come in.

Ok. So. Here's a list of what I have....only been at it a couple short months, hard to find older PSTs it seems:

- PST - early/mid 80s
- PST - earlier Japanese version (no lanyard + hollow rivets)
- PST - 0497/0797, Cabelas marked
- Micra from 2000
- Charge Plus TTi
- Surge LE (black & white)

Not sure how best to post pics to illustrate the older PSTs but it's fairly clear to me about their age given the info in the OP. The oldest is also marked with "Castle Engineering Co / Lakewood, Co" (top/bottom handles on reverse).

I could share pics easily via IG dm I think

Still hunting an 83 Cabelas PST......

Hopefully this works...I took some decent pics (not sure if Imgur will butcher them) of my older PST. I date it to around 84-85 based on the OP but I offer it to the forum experts to say one way or another.

If this works I'll do my Japan PST next - that's a real stunner!

Also, I found this on EBay. Not sure HOW rare it is but the condition is awesome. Too pricey for my blood though....

Looking forward to seeing your JPST! :popcorn:

The JPST, with its' rivets and large font, is the best looking PST version IMO. :)

Thanks! Glad the pics worked minus getting brutalized by the Imgur "community"

The JPST I have is the open rivets/no lanyard one, making it one of the earlier JPST iterations I believe. I'll work on those pics. ;)

As promised, my JPST. I think this is an earlier JPST from 85-86 based on the OP criteria but on top of that the condition is amazing! I need to clean the leftover weird adhesive from the handle but otherwise it's practically unused.

Wow. Very nice! Don't see a lot of the really early ones!  :o
Thank you for sharing! :cheers:

I've just got JPSTs with the large font w/ Lanyard ring right now. But, the large font is a favorite of mine. Though, an early one is on the want-list right now.  :ahhh

Indeed it is the reissue. But, eBay sellers have been trying to juice them for a while for insane amounts. Like Wowaboro posted, LM still has some for less than eBay sellers are asking. Since I am not a big fan of storing packaging, I found a site that had the LE PST for $150 shipped. It was new in box with sheath, but iust didn't have the presentation box and doodles that come with the more expensive one. :ahhh

Said the same thing for months, but eventually saw one for $150 and couldn't help myself.  :facepalm:
The fit & finish of the LE is incredibly good. The pliers head doesn't even touch any implements when folded up. :)

Is there any idea on how many black oxide PST with cap crimpers were made?

What seem to be the most rare combos?

Lots of BO PST CC tools were made, I think the CC is more common than the standard pliers in BO PSTs.

Rarest would be BO JPST (only one known)

Then i think the SS JPST "large lanyard" would be next, then the SS PST CC (but these aren't super rare).

But it depends on how fine a division you draw with minor variants (it is a "lumpers" vs "splitters" thing as far as classification goes).  As an example, I have an old PST with NATO NSN 786-5369 ^ 1992 markings which is the only one I know of, but to some people it would just be a version 7 SS PST.
