Another one bites the dust... Or, well, joins the club. My Charge AL arrived today.

On the good side: Smaller and lighter than what I thought. I actually fits in a sheath I already have, so I can give it a good testdrive, before I order a proper sheath and bit kit. All internal tools open with a confident click-sound and doesn't clump, except for the scissors, which tend to take the small bitdriver with it, for a few milimeters.


On the bad side: It's in a way worse shape than what I thought. The PE blade is hard to open sometimes - almost feels like the tip snags on something, but I can't see anything. Might just need a good oiling. The file looks horrendous, the diamond-coated side grinds against the scales and it looks like it's taken a bit hig. Might just be replaced in the future. The pliers doesn't open easily, there's some kind of resistance when almost opened and almost closed. Again, hopefully a good oiling can fix that.

So far, there isn't too much on the good side, but this is also my first "big" Leatherman, so I gotta play with it some more, and see if I like it.

The dates codes say 0509 and 0508. May of 2008 and 2009?

EDIT: Ohh, and it's got the 154CM blade - don't know if that's standard on the AL?

Congrats so far.  I hope you will be able to work out those issues and enjoy the tool.  You are correct with the date codes and yes the 154 blade is standard on the Charge AL.

Thank you. If I can't work out the issues, I'll problably just resell it. I was actually looking for a Surge, when I saw this at a reasonable price.

I'll problably let it sit in a bath for the night and go at it tomorrow, with a toothbrush, warm water and some oil.

So, this just found its way home with me. Found it for sale on Letgo or Offerup app, 5 mins from my house and got a hell of a deal. TTI 3D seclusion, right (I'm a rookie)? Has the S30V blade.

Thanks guys. I said rookie because I've seen the collections here and I only own 4. BO Surge, Gen 1 wave, wingman and now the TTi.

Just got this today. Cabelas had a sale and I scored this for $125. Has older Ti scales so must be old stock. Extremely happy with this purchase. Will probably leave it in the package for now.

Thanks Poncho. I'm quite pleased with it. I was going to buy it when it was $179 but put it off until the next day and Cabelas dropped it to $125. I couldn't checkout fast enough lol. At first I thought it was a mistake but I called Cabelas and the lady told me it was legit and that it looked like I got the last one in that camo pattern. Like I said I'm very happy with this. Wanted one for quite awhile.
