Depends on your preference really I have a few Charges and sometimes the better steel in the knife blade seems worth it but I still really like the Wave, so.... MTO regular response is to get both
Get a Surge I've had both a Charge Tti and a Wave (original) and they are both great tools I preferred the Tti but the Wave felt more solid in the hand (double entendre warning) I refer you to my first response
I got second hand (2nd gen) Wave and new Charge Ti. I always use the (modded) Wave. Feels nicer in the hand. And especially as a tool, if I damage the Wave when using it I would replace it ASAP. If I damaged the Charge I'd replace it (with a wave!) YMMV
Thanks for the input guys appreciate the input. It appears the Wave is the most popular an gets a lot of love so will look for a used one now then I thought i had found one but seller pulled out last minute.
I agree with this genius individual .I like my Wave(s), never been a fan of the Charge series because of cost. I read somewhere that after you use a Surge the Wave becomes a toy. I don't want to offend any Wave lovers as I also am one (and carrying mine until the Surge gets back) but I agree with the statement.
All the ones mentioned above have been better to me than both my Swisstool and my Spirit to each his own I'd still rather have a LM personally
The Charge G10 would be the single tool I would buy. 7.9OZ (.6 lighter than the wave), better ergos, better steel, and no crimper!
