Gareth- good combo, pairing a BOND and a Classic!

I do like the Yellow, is a bold look for the little carry.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

 I Finally installed a saw on my Bond. I have to be a bit careful when closing it up, the pliers want to land on top of the saw a bit, but if I close that side first it works smoothly. I’d like it to be less janky but this is the best I could come up with without drastically changing the rest of the toolset.

Thanks, it was nearly the last place I tried and just happened to work  :woohoo:
 There’s actually just enough room for the saw to share that little ramp that the blade rests on to keep it from hitting the bottom of the handle well, so that was lucky.

Now I’m thinking about swapping the the pliers out for ones on the Rebar  :think:

Nice job! 😎

I am surprised you did not replace the file as well?  I believe LM missed the boat on the BOND by not using the WAVE diamond file within the design.

I purchased a Surge blade pack (10$)and carry the diamond file in the pancake sheath to round out my tool needs in my day pack.

Also, surprised you have not added a pocket clip, that hole in the handle upsets my OCD  that the tool is incomplete. 😁😉
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

If I had a donor diamond file on hand I’d certainly add it! I like the one on the Wave, and probably use the diamond file more than the aggressive side. I’ll likely pick one up sooner or later.

I’ve thought about adding a pocket clip, but I also like how sleek the Bond is already and since I carry it loose in my back pocket I really don’t need it. Still, I might order one before summer since a clip might be better for shorts carry.

Besides the WAVE, I understand the PST II and Pulse models were fitted with the diamond style file.

I know my Pulse does, never owned a PSTII YET.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Great modding trichosirius!   :like:

Your picture reminded me I hadn’t posted a picture of my bond in this thread.



I wouldn’t say I have a love hate relationship with the bond. I just can’t seem to bond with the Bond. Early on, I thought that I could just change it to what I like. It first started off with swapping the blade for a serrated one from a Rebar. I am a clutz when I get in a hurry and slicing the web of my hand didn’t seem like a good idea. After that I filed the little nubs in the handle that would dig into my hand while operating the pliers. I tried swapping a charge bit driver in for the the #2 Philips bit. It works, but the pliers bind when closing. I used it like this for six months or so before I got fed up with it and threw it in the corner of my toolbox in the garage. A few months back I came upon a post in the Bond thread on BladeForums. In the post a member added the saw from a rebar and removed the lanyard ring on the clip side. So, I got out the wrenches and went to work. While I swapped back in the #2 Philips and saw, I also swapped the pliers from a Rebar. If I hadn’t already had the donor parts from a Rebar, I wouldn’t have gone to the effort to do this. I still prefer the PST to the Bond, even after the mods.

Quick note on the Rebar saw swap. The Rebar saw will sit proud of the handle when closed. I took a file and slowly took off material until it was flush with the handle. When it was to where I wanted it, I took some 220 grit sandpaper to smooth out the spline of the saw. After that was done, I disassembled and cleaned out the filings from the clip side and reassembled.

Sorry for the long winded post.

Looks awesome :tu:

I know what you mean about the file; while I really like the Bond, that thing can be a nuisance when using and opening and closing the tool. While I can avoid it, it can be a bit irritating since I’m so nitpicky with my tools.

I think I too would prefer the PST.  I got the Bond precisely because I was in the market for a PST but couldn’t find a decent affordable one at the time, and the Bond was close enough.
To me the smaller the package the better, and the original just seems perfect the way it is.

Depends on your needs and previous MT likes and dislikes.
 I am a ST300 and Rebar fan.

I wanted a simple pocket carry and bought the Bond, and then later added a pocket clip.  It is incomplete w/o the clip, the screw holes drove me mad.

But, the Bond caused me to look for something smaller and since it is pattern after the PST, I found one on eBay, and it was my home run tool!   The first tool Tim L made is my go to, I now have multiple PSTs, some say obsessive 😁
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Hi LC, thanks, I get what you’re saying. I am looking for something along the lines of a Bond but perhaps I’m better searching for a PST.

The Bond is a great tool :cheers: It depends on what you are wanting  :think: it does have the Square shank Phillips that can be used with the Bit Adapter, which makes it much more useful :woohoo: the plier head is also a bit better but form factor wise, the PST or PST II is hard to beat :salute: the toolset of either isn't to bad either  :D

I gave in and now have one on the way, plus bit adaptor and clip  :surrender:  :D :D I’ll probably carry it with anything from a Rambler to a Huntsman so plenty of options. I’m really looking forward to this and more when I get it  :tu:

It looks like there has been a change to the knife blade shape, I also note that the knife blade is held into its handle by noticeable tension with the slip joint tab (arrowed). I quite like it and I’m sure it will grow on me :multi:

Those are two big changes. My blade handle is dated 0521.

I wonder when LM changed the blade? 

It does look familiar, but can not put my finger where I have seen it.

     I just noticed something with the picture of the new updated  Bond. Did they do away with the square hole for the blade to rest on?

Wow, that's a BIG change of blade.  It's a shame, I think, that the old blade ever got past any kind of testing but I'm glad to see LM have done something about it.
