My holy grail just arrived to me today  :whistle:

That's the one I was talking about: 
"By far the hardest to find and most expensive older LM  (if one does come up for sale) is the original Cabela's catalogue PST.

These have a stamped "Cabela's" and "US PAT 4238862" on the handle, hollow knurled screws, "Leatherman" only pliers (no "USA") and a large "Leatherman, USA" etched on the main part of the blade."

Well done !   :salute:  :salute:  :salute:

Can you share some numbers, days spent searching, days upon find, dineros ...
I found on ebay, a NIB PST from the 90's, with sheet and package goes around 100-150EUR, in Europe.
A good condition one  around 50-75EUR
Flair and Pulse, in good condition between 50 and 75 EUR

I acquire as many models as I can as well :salute: it is fun or else I wouldn't do it :D I don't have many PSTs because I would rather have different models than all the same one :tu: my collection is much the same direction as yours but I just have less brand diversity :salute:
:cheers:
Diversification is definitely a lot of fun, and it is also much more affordable than attempting to complete a variant collection. :ahhh

I agree, Greg  :cheers: but I think "true original Cabela's (and Early Winters) catalogue PST" has usual (not hollow) knurled screws.
Hollow screws on PSTs - it's much rarer, but was a bit later.

I want to add my holy grail would be a signed tool by Tim Leatherman.  I'd have a hard time deciding but the first tool that comes to mind is the one I've shown in this thread.  The second tool would be my BO Surge.

Hollow screws on PSTs - it's much rarer, but was a bit later.

I have a very early PST with stamped "Cabela's" on the handle, hollow knurled screws, but no blade etching (of course the blade etching may have been polished off by a previous owner, or left off by LM - who knows  ??? ).

I voted for pre 90s PST but that will also include the Japanese PSTs :salute: I have one of the early examples (with knurled screws not rivets) that either predates or was made at the same time as the JPST and I got to have it signed by Tim himself :dd: and he told me that he more than likely worked on that one himself :ahhh I was very proud to have been able to bring that to him and for him to see it :like:

I'd love to see some detail photos of this.
