I was torn, torn I say!

I've had a Wave for my EDC for about 5 years and I've loved it. It's the best. So I was looking to get another as a backup.

Then I saw the Surge. What a beast.

But I have nice, custom leather sheaths for my Wave and it would be nice to be able to use them with the new Leatherman. Well curiosity won out and I picked up the Surge.

It's huge. Just massive. I feel like a little kid when I use it. Like this:

I don't feel that the fit and finish is quite as good as my Wave but it's still really well made. I want to order a MOLLE sheath for it, don't like the fit of the leather one it came with. I also don't really like the little plastic end on the scissor handle, just seems poorly done.

I forgot how tight a new Leatherman is, gotta break it in a bit.

Other than that, I really like it. I can see this being a regular on my belt.
 
Great pic! My little ones love my multis too.:) I don't like the heavy leather sheath my Charge Ti came with. Who sells a decent alternative?
 
I carry a Surge on my days off and have found it to be a very versatile piece. Just keep an eye out for the small tension spring that keeps the driver bit in place...mine flew out when I reversed the bit.:)

When it fell out of my Surge, I replaced the spring clip with a bit of Loc-Tite. Hasn't been a problem since.
