He modified his file in a manner that it still 'locks' but is also easily detachable... Can this be done to my Charge TTi?

Won't it fall out when you close the file up

it will still lock in closed, is the point to be able to remove it for use

Well I was thinking it might need a bit different placement of the hole to better 'hook' around the pivot so it doesn't fall out while the tool is closed. I don't know though?

I think the point of it is to sharpen the blade on your multi with in a survival situation?

it will void your warranty and be careful cutting the file you could mess up the tempering of it

I think if I was going to do something like that with a Charge, I'd think about attaching the file where the pocket clip & lanyard ring attach.

It would require a bit more craft than the mod done to the file in the pic, but I think it would work better. Bob (J-Sews) has done this with saw blades, and a former member made me a bit driver that works with this concept and it does work well

:O thats a nice driver

OOOooo!! That is nice! You would really think Leatherman would take advantage of the potential of pocket clip/lanyard attachment, they could do a lot more with it... Long shank screwdrivers, files with different coarseness, awl/marlinespike, hacksaws, better wood saws, metal saws.... I'm sure they could find a few more to add in there, they could even stay with the bitcard system and store the extras blades/files/saws/what have you vertically in a bitcard. It would be nice.
