Your say in building a Charge

[kwakster]

What setup what you like to see in a Charge model ?

I still have one serrated 154CM blade left, so that's going in for sure.
So is the standard plain edge 154CM blade, as well as the saw and the diamond file.

My plan is to build the last one of these series with a setup that is decided on the forum, so if you think it needs 6 flathead screwdrivers tell me about it.
If some setup isn't possible i will tell you, but the resulting Charge will be made by me and then be the subject of a giveaway on this forum.
(That is if it's okay with the management ofcourse,)

I hope we can come to an agreement about what this final modded Charge should have for tools in it's intestines,

(However, as i only have one type of leg in stock, this Charge to be will be made with 2 equal legs, so you wont be able to use it for measuring anything longer than one leg anymore.
I hope this is clear enough to everybody  )

You can also choose if this model is to have cap-crimper pliers or not,

[Freudian Frog]

I say it needs 6 different combo tools.

Because I would like to own something as bizzare as that.

We get to vote? Awesome!

Leg one: dedicated phillips, tin opener
Leg two: Flathead, awl, scissors!
No wire crimpers 

[Benner]

Can you somehow do, small bit driver, scissors, large flat, phillips and bottle opener?  That would be perfect IMO.

And I agree, no crimpers.

[Leatherman123]

I'd say have Ti scales, a plier head with no crimpers, have a serrated blade with gut hook, then in the handles have an awl, philips, large flat, scissors, can/bottle opener, and that would be the perfect LM Charge model!

[cgk]

I would say two flat head drivers (one to be modded-by winner-to the chisel), an awl, a can opener, and large bit driver.

• 2x 154cm blades as you said
• Regular plier head without crimper
• Normal inside components
• Except substitube awl from Surge for the flat head
• Bigger scissor from older wave

[WhichDawg]

yes, the 2 blades you said;
2 awls (pointy & chisel like)
various size flat heads (I use them for so many things)
scissors
diamond file!

wow what a MT that would be, thanks for the fun

no phillips! it would be a out in the "Wild" MT

Pretty close to my ideal that.

I'd make it a Charge TTi configuration (I'd even keep the new scissors as they're sharper), but swapping that randomly placed flathead for an awl would be a good move. I actually really like the bit drivers, so I'd leave them be.

Do you have the facilities to customise the scales somehow Kwakster? Would you use the anodised aluminium, or the Titanium scales?

[Poncho65]

  Great idea Kwakster

Both blades as you said
-diamond file a must
-I don't know if it would work put the scissors from the surge
-perhaps put the saw in the inside (Blast)
-phillips driver (Blast)
-an awl
-a chisel
-Med flat screwdriver
-an anything else you can fit in that would work

I changed mine a bit after thinking a bit about it

I agree with Benner on this one. You gotta have scissors and a long phillips driver like the one found on the Kick/Fuse/Blast. I also find the small but driver useful for poking into tight places.

[Poncho65]

You could always add a bit kit to it if you did have the Blast phillips head driver as well

[max6166]

How about a corkscrew? Or putting the Surge blade exchanger and scissors on it? Or figuring out a way to get 1/4" bit adapter to work (I don't think the handles are wide enough though)?

In general, I like the idea of discarding the existing bit holders for dedicated drivers, dropping the can opener, and adding tools like the chisel and awl.

[RenHoek]

Other posts have hinted at it...make it very Surge-like:
4 useful items on the outside, ready to go to work:
- Scissors - the bigger the better
- Interchangeable saw/file/etc
- 2x 154CM knives (plain & Serrated)....maybe with the serrated/gut hook setup, if you wanna cut into that beauty...

And on the inside:
- No-crimp pliers ('cept what you get on the "backside" of the pliers)
- An Awl, cuz sometimes you just need to poke a hole in stuff.
- Longer Phillips (like your last one) - you can add an adapter if you wanna use torx/etc bits...
- Only one flat screwdriver, please......and not that wide butter knife thing....
- I gotta say I LOVE the teeny-tiny screwdriver, too
- A surge-like bottle opener/wire stripper, for the cold ones...

Can't wait to see the results of this-

Diamond file
2-154 blades plain and serrated
scissors
tiny screwdriver

Update of what will be used for sure in this 'Forum designed Charge' so far;

-Titanium scales
-Pliers without cap-crimper
-Long Philips driver

Can't use items from older Waves or from Surge,

Please continue gentlemen,

  So far it is 2 my liking

Since Surge scissors are out put the saw back outside and put the scissors back inside

[Leatherman123]

I am not sure, I think Ti handles, 154cm blade, serrated blade w/ gut hook, dedicated drivers ( 2 slotted, 1 philips), scissors, and a small bit driver would be perfect. Although, I doubt it would fit!

[Mike D]

This is the one I would want:

-154 straight and serrated blades, saw and file on the outside
-Titanium scales
-Pliers without cap-crimper
-Long Philips driver and stock scissors in one handle
-Medium sized flat dedicated, awl, bottle can opener in other handle

Dont know if it would all work...??

[Freudian Frog]

Peopel keep rattling off of what they would need in their Charge... but I don't have one!

I don't care what's in it! As long as it ends up with me.

Though in all seriousness... pretty much what Mikey said.

[getahl]

no phillips! it would be a out in the "Wild" MT

But I need something to adjust the kydex sheathe on my RC4 in the woods 

[MultiMat]

Cocktail fork?

[cgk]

Cocktail fork?

Not useful enough....is there a LM spork?

[cgk]

I don't know where you are in this process but how about that sog v-cutter in the charge....if it will fit

[kwakster]

The project has come to a stand still because of a lack of handles or 'legs' as i call them.
Will have to wait for a new shipment,

That's okay Kwakster They say good things come to those who wait

So if I wait I might get that nice new shiny custom Charge

The project does not have a leg to stand on
