Hehe... I was watching some of the Man vs. Wild today. I've got my DVR set to record episodes I don't already have, and it's been running quite a bit today
I personally like Bear Grylls for his entertainment value and him demonstrating how to get out of different hazards. I like Les (Survivorman) for his ingenuity.

I like Les Stroud because he's from Collingwood, which is near where I used to live!

Kind of late, but I was watching a DVD on my computer, and I took a screenshot with a good view of the Leatherman, I'll try and get it up.
EDIT:
Here we go:
After investigating, Def was right. I thought it was a Wave, someone else said Charge, but the only Charge with bolts like that is the TTi, and its bolts are further in the handle than the Surge and Wave, The one he has, has bolts that touch the ends of the handle. The Wave doesn't do this, but the Surge does. Am I right?
EDIT 2: I just finished the first edit, but I realised that the opposite side of the blade looks like a file, where on the Surge, it would only show smooth steel even if the file was in. I can't tell very well though.
EDIT 3: My third edit in about 5 minutes, I just realised that, even if that was a Wave, you would see the saw, not the file, so it has to be a saw or the interchangeable thing on the Surge, it's just blurry.
EDIT 4: I've been watching more and here's a shot of the blade, in case that would help.
After further investigation, I think that my original thought (Wave, I didn't post it) was correct, the first picture gives a bad angle of the bolts.
EDIT 5: I'm going to stop using numbers now....
I've gotten addicted to getting every possible shot of the Leatherman possible, and I'm now 99.9% sure that it is a Wave, probably New-Style, when did the new style come out?

I believe the new Wave came out in 2004.

It's tough to be certain, but I believe that is an original Wave shown. In your second photo, the thumb slot in the knife blade appears to look more like a straight oval like the original had.
In your third photo, the plier pivot area is "round" like the original, whereas the New Wave has an oval-shaped plier pivot for more strength.

Here's a side-by-side of the old Wave and the new Wave.
(By the way Viper, thanks for the screenshots!)

I would agree with you there- the plier head gives it away.

Aw shucks, if I'd have known the old Wave had good scissors, I would have hopped on the chance to get one for 70 bucks.

I love the scissors on the old Wave. I was first introduced to that design with the PST and thought it was fantastic.
$70 does seem a little steep for one though.

Better than cutting myself on the New Wave's scissors!
