Lovely PST too - it cleaned up nicely!
I've got a beat up PST coming. Cost was $8.51. I think it is missing the file. This review makes me more excited to get it in hand.
So, what's next? Or are we just going to call it a three way tie for the two Vics and the PST and everyone else starts at 4th place?

I think you'll like it, even with a missing file. Someone here might have a spare, too, and they're not hard to fix. As I showed above, two pairs of pliers and the tool's apart. And it's not hard to reassemble, unlike some tools I've messed with.
It's the only Multitool I carried for over 20 years and it served me well
Very appropriate to test a PST now, too.
these tools used are a bargain most times, they come back to business in a breeze with some TLC. Also, this tool you tested was 21 years old, how many Ozark Trails, Les Stroud or Mossy Oak would work as good after two decades...I bet few of them

It's not just a question of how long they last. It's a question of whether or not you have the time and interest in doing the restoration work. If I had worked a minimum wage job for the amount of time I worked to fix this thing, I could have bought a new Rebar. Okay, maybe a gently used Rebar.
That's why when the tools you tested drew blood in this challenge and I read about how you spent "30 mins" sharpening a blade or nearly and hour between those two SAK's badly ground and sharpened edges, I thought to myself that not even I spend that much time on edges, especially if they're from cheap knives. If they're so damaged or bad, I put them through the Dremel and forget about "surgical precision sharpening"
