Surge on regular belt carry?

[getpower]

Does anyone here carry their Surge, full-time just on their regular belt?

Or have most of you that bought them just have them because they are the "biggest" tool with outside opening blades, and its a compliment to your collection?

I have tried twice to carry my Surge at work. Once I made it through the full day with the leather sheath being carried on my belt horizontally. The other time, I tried to carry the sheath vertically, and I didnt even make it through the whole day-rather, I didnt even make it through the first hour before removing it.

Dont get me wrong, these tools are very useful, but being a mechanic, they arent as useful for me as some of you others because I have a full set of "real" tools nearby. Therefore, I use regular tools over the leatherman unless I have to do something and I have walked away from my tools.

Also, I was wondering what you guys thought about the Surge for camping and outdoors use?

got used to the weight I belt carry the SURGE in its original nylon sheath plus I also belt carry a finex L2D on its original nylon pouch also. Been doing it for almost everyday yes not kidding even on weekends holidays etc.

I carry mine every day, but not on my belt. Though I have belt carried it and it didn't bother me. But like Duckman, I used to belt EDC a maglite and a Supertool 200, so the Surge really does not make much of a difference to me. An extra 2.43 oz is not enough for me to think, "Damn, this Surge is so much heavier than the Supertool 200!"

So it comes down to what you are used to I guess.


I bag carry my Surge most of the time though.

Yeah, I carried a ST200 and just pulled it out of its sheath and slipped the Surge right it. It fits great and doesent ride like the leather surge sheath, so I am a little happy about that.

However, I still know its there.

I gave my Surge to my father in law. Dang thing was exposing more crack than the general public needed to see. The wave is just right in weight. BTW he EDC's it. It's good to see a tool get use you gave away.

See, I dont have that crack problem. It helps not to be too, too much overwieght.

A tiny bit "fluffy" is okay though.

Nah, I'm about 6' 2" at 220 so I am pretty balanced, with a tiny bit of a belly.

No crack showing with the Surge though.

Again though, was gonna try to carry it today, and I took it off my belt half way through the morning and started to pocket clip carry the ALX.

I just put a clip on mine and keep it in my pocket

I can carry the SURGE using the clip, in the sheath, or in my pocket without any problems.
