Title: New from Wisconsin
Post by: GreyFox on March 20, 2019, 11:49:51 PM: Hi guys, thought I'd introduce myself a little.
I'm retired, hunt, fish, snowshoe, hike, used to ride a Harley but I sold it a year ago, and live in Northern Wisconsin.
My first Leatherman was a gift from a best friend for Christmas in the 80's. It has to be one of the early PST's because it's riveted and has a sheath with Cabelas on it
Then I bought a Micra in the mid 90"s and finally a Wave a few years back.
By the way, I was watching The Last Alaskans last nite, and one of the featured men shot a moose and skinned and broke down the animal with what looked like a WAVE!!! I carry mine when hunting deer, elk and moose but it never entered my mid to actually use it to process the animal.
OH yea, I have the black leather sheath for my Wave with the elastic sides. I couldn't figure what to do with the sleeves on both sides, so I bought a Maglite LED Solitaire, and it fits like it was made for that. Now I also have a small flashlight handy in an emergency.

I'd love to see some pics of the PST as well :like:

I started around 3-4 weeks ago (many times) but for some reason the confirmation email never made the trip. I was ready to give up when wallah........ there it is in my in box today. I'm confused on the posting times here . Right now it's 6:58pm but you guys must be YCT??.
What a country huh..

Post by: Poncho65 on March 21, 2019, 01:05:23 AM: Well from the pic I can tell it is a large font made in Japan PST :tu: since all the Japanese made ones have rivets and you already said it did then that fits :tu: the PST Chronology project that is stickied at the top of the Leatherman forum will give you a more exact date though :salute:

Post by: GreyFox on March 21, 2019, 01:14:39 AM: I never gave it a thought.The handle has LEATHERMAN circle R and TooL small in caps. Pliers just have Leatherman on them same as the knife blade. Brown leather Cabelas sheath.
If you want I'll try to get a better pic tomorrow it that helps.

Post by: Happy Gilmore on March 21, 2019, 02:07:23 AM: I admire your control, having multi-tools that early would have made me want to have every one since.

Welcome mate!

Instagram might be the easiest way I've found to host pics atm.

Cheers,
H.G.

I went to the PST chronology thread and It looks like mine is a mid 80's Japan. Inch ruler, lanyard hook, Rh can opener. I cannot find any date on it.
So it looks like mine is around 33 yr old and never abused.You can't wear these tools out.
