Early PST  :tu: Wonder how rare it is?  :think:

Currently at $44  :D

A few details that establish this scarce model as earlier than most models around are:

    * One handle stamped: LEATHERMAN TOOL, US PAT 4238862, PORTLAND OR
    * Other handle stamped POCKET SURVIVAL TOOL
    * Inch ruler only, no metric
    * No date codes
    * Drop point knife blade
    * Knife tang stamped LEATHERMAN USA

But know plenty of people here do  :salute: Hopefully someone gets a good deal :D

Rare enough that I haven't seen one of those on eBay in the last year or so.

That is an early to mid 80s PST. Considering Leatherman opened their doors in 83, that means a production run of only a few years. I believe this one predates the large Leatherman only stamped handle version.
