I'll grind out that rolled bit of steel inside the main body, and in the process make it close correctly that way. That should also allow for a couple extra blades on each side. One will definitely be a Havalon.
Welcome to Have you tried a Surge?

But when I need force I grab as far back as I can. On the 300 I'll keep the original blades on the far outside, and I'll carefully round off the housing with a file. That combination should eliminate any digging. Plus I'll have the two types of Leatherman blade changers in there, a sog Box cutter (v cutter) and a Havalon all next to the original blades on the outside. ...I think.
Surge blades open on the outside. I always thought that was a little dangerous. Plus there's alot of open space for dirt to get in. Cleaning seems like it would be tedious. Sorry. I like that blade changer though!
