Which gerber(s) have the interchangeable saw tool?

MP600 ProScout for sure.

I don't have any others, but I'm sure other Gerber owners will be along shortly.

Yup, look to the 600 series for those. DET, Pro scout and a couple of others ... but NOT all of them. Check first

MP800 also has them

Now I have to find one on the cheap to build myself a super tool.

The bladeless model has the blade exchanger tool too.

You better check the availability of other saws/tools with that exchanger, otherwise it´s more or less "useless". My MP600 has it, too, but no other blades are available here.

It´s way not as versatile as the Surge´s toolholder, which takes a lot of brands of t-shank sawblades.

My understanding is that it's a blade type that is slightly more common in the US than it is in Europe. However I suspect that Gerber backed 'Betamax' while Leatherman came along later and got behind 'VHS'.
