Dennis, That is awsome :drool:  I have a friend that has two with leatherman on the blade but his handles dont say leatherman tool. They have the us pat and portland Or but other than that the handles are plain. AHB, those japan tools look like they are in great shape. Does your hollow riveted tool have a right or left handed can opener on it?  All great tools :cheers:

Stack its interesting that your US Pat, hollow rivoted, lanyard attachment has a right hand can opener. Mine has a left hand can opener. There is also a hollow riveted varition that is marked with US REG`D TM 1325473 w/right hand can opener. Lots of varitions over the years. The hunt continues   :D
What? Enablers! Are you serrrrious? Where? I dont see any.

Allan nice shot of your PSTs.   8)   :tu:  Off hand heres some I dont see:

POCKET SURVIVAL TOOL, USA plier head, US PAT, knurled, with or without LEATHERMAN U.S.A. etched knife blade

POCKET SURVIVAL TOOL, Leatherman only plier head, US PAT, hollow rivets, Leatherman Japan knife blade tang stamp

riveted, Leatherman only plier head, US PAT, Leatherman knife tang stamp, lanyard attachment, hollow rivets

riveted, Leatherman only plier head, US PAT. Japan Leatherman knife tang stamp, large hole lanyard attachment

USA plier head, no US PAT, knurled, landyard attachment, Leatherman USA knife blade tang stamp

All the above have the drop point knife blade and left hand can opener. I dont have an example of the fourth one listed. Info on it can be found on pages eight and nine of this thread. I have only seen one for sell and missed out on it. Hope that helps out a little.

I forgot the new plier head with USA milled out. I do not have this one either and have never seen one for sell. Info starts on page two of this thread. I know of two of these one stainless and one BO.

No•   Handles stamped with what? (see pictures in next post for examples)
Leatherman Tool us reg tm 1325473•   Inch ruler only, or inch/metric?
Inch only•   Date codes? What are they?
No date codes•   Drop point knife blade or clip point?
Drop Point•   Knife blade tang stamped LEATHERMAN, JAPAN, or USA?

I think you have a Japan pst. Is the leatherman on the handle in big font? If so, I think the one you have was made somewhere between 86 and 88?  Im not 100% sure but thats my guess.

Yes, the LEATHERMAN on the handle is in big font.  Neither the blade or file are stamped with Japan though.

The file may be stamped low where the handle hides it. The blade can come with or without the Japan under the leatherman stamp. I have both. Still made in Japan. The big font Leathermans were made in Japan between 1985 through 89. The early ones I think had the hollow rivets. The blade on mine does not say Japan on it. I have two that are like yours, one has japan and one doesnt. I also have one that just  says reg. tradmark 13..... not us reg., and that has the japan on the blade. So somewhere in the middle of this run they added the japan on the blade.  Hope that helps. :)    Im only giving my thoughts on this so maybe one of the other members will step in and help.

I have a few of those riveted PST`s. Here are some observations. Riveted (hollow) PST`s stamped US PAT 4238862 can have Leatherman only or Japan stamped on the knife blade either above or below Leatherman. Riveted (solid) PST`s stamped REG`D TM 1325473 have Japan stamped on the knife blade below Leatherman. Riveted (hollow or solid) PST`s stamped US REG`D TM 1325473 have only Leatherman stamped on the knife blade. These observations are not set in stone as I`m sure there can be some exceptions out there some where. But hold true to the ones I have on hand at the moment.

Another question:  I also have an older style PST that says POCKET SURVIVAL TOOL on the side.  I was looking at the file and noticed that both sides were a cross-cut type (no wood file).  Are they all like this, or is it some sort of factory defect?
