Please, Anyone know of any differences between THIS Leatherman (ST-300) 831102, vs the (ST-300) 831103? Specifically any weight difference? Thank you!

The only difference is in packaging (not sheath). 831102 is in a box, so it sets on a shelf. 831103 has packaging for hanging on a peg-board. Same tool; same sheath; different packaging. It's a matter of retailer preference.

I'm sure a super tool is a super tool. The only difference between item numbers I found when I bought mine was the sheath. Look a little closer at the product listing.

i did some searching around using google and the leatherman web site and it seems as though the 831103 weighs a bit more than the 831102. the 831103 is 14.7 ounces (according to amazon) and the 831102 is 9.6 ounces (according to the leatherman site.) being only a 5.1 ounce difference in weight, i can't imagine this would be felt when carrying either of these tools versus the other. i hope this helps.

Hard to really compare the those 2 knives. I will start by saying I own both Spyderco and ZT. I have a Spyderco Native, Pacific Salt, Manix 2, and Byrd Cara Cara 2 g10, Byrd Hawkbill. So, I like what I like, I'm not a brand hater. That being said I like the ZT 0350 better. I fits my needs better. More of a working fit, with edc carrying capabilities. I like bigger knives better. I like the weight feels right too me. I like the blade size better. It's a wide, thick blade, not too long so when I need to work up on the tip of the blade it feels better, not too long. Plus it's American made. In short Spyderco Police 3 - majors in reach (great long knife, over a 4 inch blade). Good self-defense knife Minors in work (blade is long and thin, hard to work up on the knife). I would be afraid I would break the tip. Good intimidation factor. ZT 0350ts - Majors in work (great user length knife, solid wide blade.) I like the weight Minors in reach ( not a super long knife 3 1/4", fast deployment though, handle shape is really easy to grip) I like the ergonomics. Tiger stripe gets a wow a lot so far.I think it sets it apart from all my silver or black knives. ZT 0350 TS is better (in my opinion)

Yes, the 2 feels a lot heavier in the hand. I had both the 2 and 10, until I deemed them both unsuitable for my survival style; the 2, well, because although indestructible, it's extremely heavy; and the 10 because, well, it's a shorter version of the 9, which happens to be my favorite. If you want an honest opinion from an avid survivalist and military veteran, the perfect combo is the 9 with a 16 or 17. That's all you really need. But, if you just want one good survival knife that can do it all, go with the 10 or 7. The 2 is just too much steel. Besides, all the Beckers are pretty much indestructible. The only thing the 2 could specialize in compared to the others is prying, but you shouldn't be prying with knives anyhow.

Bruce K. I went to the Dremel.com website, and the only thing i can see is that the improved the tool set so that it will run longer between battery recharges. For thre extra 20 bucks just order the 2/28, you will be happier in the long run. I did and it comes with a recharger and 2 batterys.

Thank you for being an educated consumer. My understanding is the 830161 "Surge", is the NEW model with replacable Cutter Blades. So as you can see you have to be careful when you purchase Leatherman tools. They have made improvements in existing models, then change the Model numbers, but not the names. I hope this helps answer your question

No. I didn't know, but leatherman.com provides a nice tool comparison feature. Apparently Charge TTI has everything the Wave has plus a cutting hook and a crimper. I printed the compare as a pdf, but I do not know how to include it in this response. Hope that helps.

no difference between them just comes with a leather carrier. all saw tools are interchangeable with parts just the way they are being carried is what makes the price different.

It is purely a matter of choice/preference in my opinion...either one should work. I have 4 Leatherman tools. 2 are in nylon type sheaths...2 are in leather sheaths. The 2 in the nylon sheaths came from Amazon. The 2 in leather came as a package deal from Sam's.

The item number (830278) matches the new one on Leatherman's website (https://www.leatherman.com/830278.html) but the product pictures don't match up... I would go off on the product number because it is more reliable than the misleading pictures Amazon occasionally uses.

Hard to put a number on it, I've never broken any of my Leathermans. The Surge is definitly one of my favs along with the Wave. I'd give those both a 9 out of 10, maybe a ten for the black Surge just for the cool factor. They're almost identical until you compare their relative sizes. The wave is just a bit smaller & easier to carry. The Surge is a bit more robust & has a little extra leverage to boot for some of the bigger task. I have both and wouldn't give up either. Hope this helps...

Just a Guy I have no doubt used my Leatherman 300 several times to repair/adjust my glasses, but eyeglass bits?? Never seen them on my 300. I would recommend the Leatherman website to see just what is or is not on each tool. Regards, Paul

The bk22 does I have it molled to my gear bag for when I take it out of my scout sheath. Bk22 same knife just a different sheath that comes with it. Also has a pocket for a stone or a multi tool that's where I put my leatherman. That is what I would recommend is the bk22. It's a little more in price but, not by too much.

Mcmorty, as you probably realise a farmer would have heaps of different tools at his disposal, but the Leatherman 300 Supertool has several very commonly used tools in one handy tool he can keep on his belt. So, although I personally don't hold Christmas as significant I would say any farmer would love one for Christmas. Longtime Leatherman Owner

Thanks for the reply ... I mailed leatherman and they confirmed what you said, thanks again for the info. Now I just wish my skeletool would hurry up and get delivered! :)

I have medium size hands and it is slightly big in my hands. I would compare it to the size of a full size Leatherman (closed of course). I want to agree with people that say the Manix XL would be a better choice but I can't for one reason. The Manix XL has a longer blade than the Manix 2. The blade on Manix 2 is already pushing the limits of what one can legally carry in most states.

Looking at leatherman.com, it looks like there is a new version - in fact, it's the lead "story" on the site right now. This would likely be the reason for the price drop.Looking at the manufacturer's site, it looks like the only difference is cosmetic - the tools appear to all be the same. If it were me, I'd jump on the $20 savings and grab one of these before the new stock replaces it.
