So, Leatherman's doing the PST again? I found an article on a South African engineering magazine's site--it states that it is a special edition for SA, and limited to 100 pieces, but at R3600, which is $297--ouch! Like what, 4X what they were original?! http://www.engineeringnews.co.za/article/leatherman-celebrates-35th-anniversary-with-revival-of-original-pocket-survival-tool-2018-01-12-1/rep_id:4136My question is--will the US have a version?
(Scribbling on yellow lined paper)Dear Mr. Tim Leatherman,If you are reading this, I am a big fan of your work. Could you find it in your heart and the company's purse strings to please put the PST back into production, just the way you made this limited run, but not limited. I dare say that this will outsell the Wingman, Sidekick, and most definitely the Rev, possibly all combined, if it comes in at a $50 - $70 price.Sure it may outsell the more expensive Charge and the Signal, but that would be a matter of price, not quality.In closing, Mr. Leatherman, if you do this, I personally promise to purchase at least one, but probably two or more, and so will many of my friends.Plus, I will then believe in Santa Clause again.Much respect,ThundahBeagle

Nice sheath and signature.I do find it a bit strange though, since you can still buy the PST new from some shops - I got a new boxed one a couple of years ago for around $50.If the new one, a re-issue, is worth $200 then the original one, the genuine legendary one, must be worth at least double, right

And what color is the sky in that world? I see them very very infrequently even just with the box and in hardly used condition on eBay.I agree what a beautiful sheath.

I noticed they had a PST in the Leatherman display on the side of the counter, turned out they still had the box and all that comes with it (manual and beautiful dark brown real leather sheath, still had the sweet smell of real leather in the box ... ).But I think I can safely say that, what I found there, was probably the only original, new in box PST in the entire country ...
The only reasons I can think of for buying this aside from the fact that this is Leathermans Official 35yr release, is the signature and the pouch. The PST is in my view meaningles if, as already mentioned by others.... it is in fact built from old stock.The signature I suspect is CNC engraved, which therefore only then leaves the pouch!!Doubtless the value will treble once stocks have run dry.I can't make my mind up whether to try and grab one or not - lol Chako, you got yours yet?

That's just it, Tosh. Wowboro reports that this appears to be all new manufacturing. Granted, anything over $100 USD is highway robbery, but this is a special edition. I still wouldn't pay 2 or 309 for it. I'm saying, I'd pay $50-$70 for a newly minted PST with kickass leather sheath. Hells yeah
