The easiest way is to host them on imgur,photobucket or the like and link them here or you can attach them but you may have to resize them this way.

Another, at first glance, usual item joined to my collection.
But most interesting it's the earliest modification of Clip Point (Saber) knife blade:

On blade tang stamped:
LEATHERMAN U.S.A. (not LEATHERMAN USA as usual).
I think, no, I'm sure - it's one of the most rarest PST's ever.
I've seen only one SS and only one BO, fortunately I have them both  :)

I have a PST with knife tang also stamped with U.S.A. as well.  The blade is not a clip ( saber ) nor is there any PAT number on the handles. Its a pre dated PST.


I also have one stamper -USA-

On all PST's Drop Point blades (as yours) stamped U.S.A. - it's usual.
But PST's Clip Point (Saber) blades with stamp U.S.A. (not USA as usual) - it's very very rare.


...nor is there any PAT number on the handles. Its a pre dated PST.

Please, add photo of this PST.

In March last year, Zoidy updated the first post in this thread with a tabular representation of the data.

Since then the table has had over 3.5k downloads ...... That's over 10 per day - Wow   :o

So this thread is still very much alive and it looks like we are providing good information/service to the Internet masses  :tu:

Thanks for the response!  So does 0396 - 0696 mean March of 1996 through June 1996?

Correct.  Early build PSTs didn't have dates, but later PST handles had 4 digit date codes in the format MMYY
I believe this wasn't the actual date the whole tool was assembled, but was the date the handles were made.

Welcome to the forum darkencypher

Wowabaro can identify the age of a PST just by looking at it  :o  :salute:
Most of us just check the date codes inside the handles  ;)
Date codes were introduced in Nov 92 - So as yours is later than that date - if you look inside the handles (under the tools on the bottom) you should see the date stamps
As Greg said they are sometimes different due to different handle production dates

Let us know what they are - and therefore if Wowabaro is correct !!  -
Note: He will be !!

He was correct!  My stamp is 0596.  Does that mean May of 1996?  Incredible!  :)  Thanks for the info Wowaboro and Gregozedobe.  And thanks for the warm welcome, Huntsman, Steve and Poncho65

BEST REGARDS

Here is an interesting JPST version 3] currently on offer on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/322393314638

What I found interesting was the "Made in Japan" sticker placed over the "Portland OR" (2nd photo).  Even back then there must have been some sensitivity about passing off MTs made overseas as US made.
