Anyone know if there are other blades available for the Surge? I've got the saw and file that came with the thing, but I haven't seen any other ones yet. I'll admit though, I haven't looked all that hard.

The blade adapter takes any T-Shank jig saw blades that you can find at any hardware stores. They make them for cutting plastic, wood, metal and ceramics.

Go to Home Depot and try some Hilti t-shank jig saw blades. Very high quality, and lots of variety.
As far as I know, Leatherman doesn't really intend to make other blades, they leave that up to you. Kind of clever frankly, because they let you use high quality and large variety tools from Craftsman, Hilti, etc. without risking having to pay licencing fees. They simply don't tell people that it's a t-shank, and leave it up to you.

I don't own a Surge but I do use the Bosch Progressor blades (shown in prime77's photo) in my jig saw. They are excellent blades.

Thanks for the info guys. I had no clue they were just t-shank blades.
