以下内容为一个国外钳友电邮莱泽曼官方后获得的答复,官方也承认在生产初期,由于人员较少,产量跟不上,所以在日本加工了一些产品(哪个时期莱泽曼的钳子只有PST这一款)。不过持续时间仅有3年的时间,所以市面上日产的莱泽曼PST并不容易见到。
"We're back in the office after the Christmas Holiday-hope your Holidays were blessed. Are you ready for a story? As I told you, I have been with the company almost since its inception, 22 years. In the very beginning, Tim Leatherman found it difficult to keep up with production. The demand for his invention, the Pocket Survival Tool, was almost immediate, and with 11 people out in the shop at that time, we could not meet the demand. He contracted w/a company in Japan (that country was known at that time for their cutlery) and it became Leatherman Tool Japan (this partnership only lasted for 3 years or so at which time we decided to do everything USA). The tool that they made was ever so slightly different, in particular the rivets that are in the handle & hold the parts together. So, long story short, I believe you have that older Japan tool. The value was the same, just the place it was manufactured. I think you should definitely consider that tool a collector's item! The reason you are not seeing the "R" on the sheath is probably because a tools has to have "tm" markings until the patent is final, and it took a long while for Tim Leatherman to get the initial patent. It was most likely pending at that point. I hope I've explained this well enough. Happy New Year to you."
日产莱泽曼PST的几个显著特点:铆钉,钳头,主刀外型,没有任何美国产地标示
PS.我还曾经在网上见到过一把特殊的PST,不过图片忘记保存在哪里了,钳头的印记是USA,主刀的印记是JAPAN,铆钉的式样也是日本的
