Nice review! If you ever had/used a Rebar, what would your thoughts on that be?
Just curious as I just sold mine off and only have the big Surge here with the replaceable cutters!
My main carry is the sak, either an Explorer or a Ranger! I like the Ranger tool set better but it is a bit thicker than the Explorer!
I have never owned a SOG PPP but I do like the idea of customizing it and having the ability to replace parts easily. I also like the size of it but I don't care for combo blades!

The only real drawback to it is the lack of scissors and no outside accessible tools. It's a solid package at a slightly high price, but it just doesn't offer anything that makes it an obvious choice, compared to its competition. I exchanged mine for a SOG PowerLock.Is the Powerlock different than the one you reviewed or same one? I ask because I see that SOG offers quite a few different models and I am not familiar with them! QuoteJust curious as I just sold mine off and only have the big Surge here with the replaceable cutters!The Surge is fantastic. I wish they'd make the same tool configuration for the Wave.Yeah, I tried the Wave a few times along time ago and never warmed up to it. Just didn't like the feel of it in my hand and it was so tight, I could not get it to loosen up over time either!QuoteMy main carry is the sak, either an Explorer or a Ranger! I like the Ranger tool set better but it is a bit thicker than the Explorer!Both of those are awesome SAKs. Explorer is a perennial favorite here. It is my personal favorite 91mm SAK.Yes, I like the Explorer alot as well as the Ranger. I only have a couple of sak's and these two models are rotated depending on my daily needs or what I feel like carrying. Most of the time, if not all the time I used a P-7 clip when I wear jeans so it hangs vertical in my front pocket so it feels less bulky. In shorts, I just throw one in one of the cargo pockets.I like the inline philips as I have a small 1/4 bit set and a modded socket that fits over the philips easily and without much play so I can use all kinds of 1/4 inch bits. QuoteI have never owned a SOG PPP but I do like the idea of customizing it and having the ability to replace parts easily. I also like the size of it but I don't care for combo blades! One of the things you can change on it is the blade, to a plain edged one. I plan to do that, in time.
I like it, good comparison! I am no fan of sheath carry MT, so Wave is the way to go for me.
MT in sheath screams blue collar to me ; because the only places I seen people with MT in sheath are hardware stores.
Well I pocket carry everything pretty much, so it's a bit of a moot point for me. I don't sheath carry for the simple reason that it's a pain to put on and take off, plus when you go to the bathroom your belt unfurls and the sheath goes thud on the floor. Not so bad at home (but still annoying), but not so good elsewhere when you don't know when the floor was last cleaned I also find a sheath to telegraph the fact that I'm carrying a tool, and in certain environments it can be a snag hazard. So it doesn't matter if I'm carrying a Balance, Spirit, Diesel, Powerlock, it's always right front pocket, jacket pocket, or cargo pocket.-snip-
Multitools and bladed items can cause raised eyebrows in some settings as it is, without adding to it by publically sticking your hand down your tweeds and saying "hang on, let me just get my tool out"
