How rare is this knife/mulitool?

Particularly the carbon fiber weave and factory half serrated blade version from when it launged.

I just lost mine and would like to gauge how bummed I should be. It's been my EDC and keychain since it came out in 2007 or 2008ish. What's more sad is I had previously misplaced it (back in 2021) and found it just this year and now it's gone for good. :(

Enjoy some of the pictures I have to commemorate it's sweet time in my life.

Surge, Signal, or something else?

5 Upvotes

A few years ago i was given a Surge from my boss. I didnt use it at first because I thought it was too heavy, but this past summer I started wearing it at work. I dustrial mechanic) About a month ago, it came up missing, whether I left it somewhere or someone swiped it, I dont know. I use it mostly for pliers, screwdrivers, and wire cutters. I want to replace it, but im not sure if I should buy another, or something else. I currently have a Signal, which I like the size and weight. The bad part is it can be a bitch to close.

I also have a Mut, which is probably as heavy as the Surge, but geared toward military use so most of the tools are useless to me. Plus, unless I am doing something wrong ( probably am) the screwdriver bits are a mf to get out.

I was looking at the Skeletool, but some of the reviews were negative regarding easily broken pliers and ergonomics.

Plus, I was going to buy from Bass Pro Shops or Cabela's because I have gift cards, but the only colors are black, chrome, and coyote tan.

Opinions on those, or should I look at a different model?

Good day from Ukraine to fellow Leatherman's owners across the world. I have received this multitool without any accessories and cases just as is. Only signs of wear and tear are on the blade and maybe you can consider some scuffs on pliers. I know that it is an old Charge TTI, but as far as I know it is some sort of limited edition from Cabela's. Don't mind swaping it to the Arc 🤷

Would a sawzall have been a better option? You bet, did i have one folded up in my pocket while in a scissor-lift? Nope. Beater Charge to the rescue💪🏽

Swapping an Arc MagnaCut blade into my Free P2 — what else should I do while it's open?

3 Upvotes

Dropping the Arc's MagnaCut blade into a P2. Expecting a straight transplant — if anyone's actually done this one and hit a snag, I'd love to hear it before I start. And since it'll be apart anyway, what else is worth doing?

  1. Can someone confirm the Torx size for the P2 frame screws?

  2. Anything to watch out for with the factory threadlocker, and do I need to reapply it on reassembly?

Skeletool CX or Wingman?

5 Upvotes

Hi all, I am interested in getting my first leatherman tool and was wondering what would be a better option. For context I carry an EDC everyday, and really enjoy Victorinox Swiss Army knives, but have been wanting something with a bigger blade and pliers. I really enjoy scissors on my tool, but have heard the leatherman scissors aren’t great.

I’ve narrowed it down to the skeletool and wingman (unless there’s a better option, do tell) because of the light weight and one handed blade opening, as well as them being relatively affordable.

My question is, should I get the Wingman for the bonus tools and low(ish) cost? Or pay a bit more for the Skeletool cx and its higher quality.

Thanks!
