There is the new model leatherman surge with replaceable cutters?

The new model has replaceable wire cutters on the plier, as well as exchangeable blade for the file and saw.

There is no replaceable "cutters" and by cutters I'm assuming you are talking about the scissors . But like others have said the file and saw are replaceable and interchangeable. And I seen that you can buy a new saw and file set off amazon for about 5.00

It has switchable saw and file pieces on it. A very solid piece of equip. I carry it on me everyday

There is a tool bit exchanger and an interchangable saw/file. Scissors, blades, and other parts are factory replaceable under warranty.

Guys the new model has some differences, the more noticeable is that the wire cutting edges are replaceable.

The photos are swapped for the models. I submitted feedback to Amazon on the photos for each of these two tools. The model #830161 has replaceable cutters and is about $10 more as of 27 MAY 15.Also of note, these are the replacements: Leatherman Black Steel Replaceable Wire Cutter Insert Kit - MUT Tool & SuperTool 930355

Hi Xander :) great choice on the Surge,it's my EDC and I love it,I also purchased it from Proto Sales as you appeared to do.they were excellent with me,the price was the best hands down (51 dollars cheaper than Home Depot etc).I asked them the same question and they werent sure,but yes I did recieve what is listed at the bottom of the page the 830278 updated model,the one in the picture is slightly different,you can watch videos on YouTube to see the differences,the old model was great and this one is even better! I sent and called Amazon and have been asking them to update the picture,hopefully they will and If your experience is like mine you will get the 830278,one way to tell is the old one had a diff. model #,you can try and email proto Sales if you want,but you should be allset,hope it works as well as it did for me and your new surge is very useful and enjoyable!

I have had previous leathermans including surge's and the quality looks the same. They are missing the date stamp on the inside. After contacting Leatherman directly, I was informed that they were missed in the stamping process. After purchasing so many ovrr a period of time, I believe that they don't stamp some of their cheaper versions of the same model.

No, the blades are attached by the supplied allen key. The next model up may have the quick release feature.

When I received this one I passed my old Leatherman PST down to my son. I think I got it the year he was born, 1987. They quit making PST's in 2004, the same year they stopped making the original Wave. The old Wave didn't have the bit set included with the current version, which IMHO is a superior tool. If you are looking for an original Wave, You will be missing out on the interchangeable bits altogether, which is one of the most valuable features.

I use mine to carry the surge, it's one of the biggest leathermans out there I believe. Skeletool will fit but the sheath maybe a little large for it.

Also if you don't like the nylon/leather sheath, you can purchase the Surge Nylon Sheath sku#LT934890 (also fits Super Tool 300, and the Core) at swissknifeshop.com for $6.50 includes shipping. It has a back pocket for the Super Tool/Surge/Core tool bit set, and same 2 sided pockets for a small flash light and smaller items.

The "L" has the Leatherman blade "Launcher". It's basically a lever on the back that pushes the blade out when you slide your finger or fhumb over it.

I found this on their site. Looks like a slightly more expensive model for the following bonuses: +Thicker steel stock (.185) +Satin Finish blade +Newly designed longer ergonomic handle with deeper finger grooves +Racy new blade shape with longer cutting edge +Added blade spine rasp for notching, filing, and thumb placement +Injection molded glass reinforced handle scored with grip lines It's also about half an inch longer. A little of that is the blade, most is the handle.

Ours did but we bought it a while ago, as soon as it came out actually, and I cannot say with any certainty what is included with the current package. That said its a great tool!

I have gone through three of these tools. The blades on all three have the bottom half serrated. OK for occasional sawing tasks, but not for anything extensive. The tool is great overall. The pliers are the weak point. I have had them break after using them extensively. Could be the tensile strength of the pliers, but I am not a metallurgist, so cannot offer a good explanation. Leatherman has replaced each broken knife promptly.

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.

No scissors as others have said. BUT if you really want hte scissors, but don't want to pay more, then the Wingman is an option. Another user said the Wave has the scissors but it's a bit more $$. IMHO, the scissors on the Leatherman's are useless. I had the Wingman for over a year, then lost it and bought this ReBar as its replacement (only a slight upgrade at the time as Wingmans were $30-something and Rebars were $39 at the time). I don't miss the Wingman a bit, nor do I miss its scissors.
