I may give this a try, only with my Charge TTi instead.

A tti mated with zytel? How about using a rebar handle and charge? Bet that would look sweet

That may be cool too.  However, the Rebar has the sloped neck design and that may look odd since that area would be much thinner than the Charge.

I was thinking the same actually.  I just couldn't figure out how to put it into words.

Wow! Great job. I am pretty surprised that nobody has tried this previously. It makes so much sense when you see it. Personal preference, I would prefer a Rebar handle mated with the Wave handle. But that would be purely for appearance purposes, but I bet it's narrower, so that would probably feel weird. I bet this thing is a real step up in comfort during use. Especially when using the no-plier implements. Not that the Wave is painful, but with the spine of the knives sticking out, and the edges of the outer tool channels facing out, it isn't all that comfortable when you have to generate a lot of torque. And in plier-mode, with the Wave handle turned in towards the palm and the zytel on your fingers, I bet this is a dream to bear down on.

So basically, what I'm trying to say is: Wow! Great job. :rofl:

Many thanks, and yes, it is much more comfortable, especially when using the OHO blade.

Can you snap a pic straight from the side?

As to compare the thickness differences between handles.

It'll take a bit (I'm not in this century, electronics wise), but they are pretty much the same thickness, eyeball and tactile wise.

Nicely done.   :tu:   :tu:   :tu:   I had tried it with the ST3 and Surge but didn't really like the feel of it. I can see how a smaller version would work though.

Nice Mod! I have thought about doing the same thing with a Surge and a Supertool 300. Does anyone know if a long Mut screwdriver bit in a bit exchanger would store internally on a ST 300? It could have outside blade and scissors on the Surge half and the full length screwdriver and file on the ST 300 half. :think:

That looks amazing. I'm going to look into getting a Blast to pair with my own Wave.
