Leatherman PST Inspection Report // Second Edition
on: April 15, 2026, 03:17:40 PM
The Leatherman Pocket Survival Tool Inspection Report hardcover book was written with care, love, and a boatload of research by the whole of the Leatherman collecting community.

This second edition includes updated photos, category selections, and additional fan-favorite insights from Tim Leatherman himself.

The purpose of this book is to take a deep dive into the tool that started at all, the Pocket Survival Tool.

Explore the hundreds of component feature variations that make almost every PST a unique piece of Leatherman history.

This is a self published book. We only ran 100 copies of this second edition, only after selling out of our first edition.   To do such a limited run with the type of high-quality finishes seen in this work is extremely expensive.  Each book is shipped with 10 blank inspection reports and is hand-signed by the author.

Many in this group have the first edition and can speak to the quality and comprehensive nature of this book and I truly hope you enjoy having it as a prized addition to your collection.

To order, please make a PayPal Goods & Services payment to leathermanhistory@gmail.com in the amount of $64.95 + $8.95 for US shipping. Please contact me individually to make arrangements for international shipping.

What link are you referring to?  This book is self published so there are no active links on the Leatherman website to it.  That said, there is an unrelated Leatherman book just announce for pre-order so maybe that is where the confusion lies?

Most members who post links or personnel info to sell products or services are required to pay for the privilege of using the forum as advertising. Links are usually removed until an understanding or agreement has been made to do so. Reamer was unaware of your prior discussion with Grant about it so he removed your info until is was pointed out to him that you had an agreement on your first edition.

Hopefully that clears things up. Good luck on your sales and feel free to donate to the forum if so inclined.   :cheers:

No worries,  as moderators we deal with a lot of spam daily, sometimes mistakes happen and legit posts get reported. Sorry for the confusion.
