How early is that one? Look at the can/bottle opener, it looks weird! As a matter of fact, all of that PST's tools look different!

Yah, the can opener on the earliest PST's has a "left hand" cut to it. The ones that came along later have a right hand cut.

Well that there is right at the top of my want list just now Bob. Until then, the closest I have is this one, which is identical, but has no markings except the US PAT number. It doesn't even say Leatherman. I'm not sure if it missed the machine, or maybe (and there are some signs to support this theory) some idiot removed the lettering  :think:

(Image removed from quote.)

Do you s'pose it had a company promotional name on it Dave, that someone polished off?

Yours does indeed have all the traits of an early-early: No lanyard ring, drop point knife blade, left hand can opener, "thin" heads on the knurled pivot screws, and a plier head that looks to have been belt sanded by hand. All the classic signs. :)

It could be. The "grain" in the steel looks as though it's been sanded, but I can't see any trace of what they might have removed, which is a shame as I really want an example with "Pocket Survival Tool" on it.

But yes, it's definitely a very early model (no metric scale on ruler, saber blade etc) with little signs of actual use.
I used to come here a lot.

I personally have spent years trawling ebay, contacting seller and asking them to look out for things etc. It actually takes a lot of time and effort.

That looks pretty similar to the pic I put up above ponch. It has the old saber shaped blade, and the can opener looks like a very early one.

There doesn't appear to be a hard wire notch in the cutters.

It's hard to be certain, but I would definitely take a punt on that one I reckon (like that means much  ::)).

I hope it's a good one mate :tu:

I've got a sheath very similar to that poncho - but I can't tell if it's exactly the same. I bought it new quite recently.

That one does indeed look promising Poncho. :) I can't wait to see some clearer photos of it.

As regards the sheath...I've never seen an older Leatherman one like that :think:



Oh by the way Dave, we are calling those early blades "drop points." I've also seen where Leatherman and Cabelas referred to that shape as "spey points."

The "saber points" are the next series that have the really deep, long clipped area:

(Image removed from quote.)
The middle style blade is nicknamed the "saber" because of its big sweeping clip point. Later on they made the clip point smaller (top picture)
