Just received my Leatherman CX tool and it's got the serrated blade. Does that mean I got an old stock tool? When did they switch blades?

I have bought them new both ways and sent them in for repair and gotten both kind of blades back.

Yes, you got old stock. I got the non-serrated blade in February from Amazon. I'm not sure exactly when the switch was though.

Probably so. However, I would prefer the serrated version. Makes it easier to saw through material easier.

The one and only sog junk that I unfortunately got stuck with is probably discontinued. The one I have now is somewhere in my cabinet attracting rust. Stay away from this company. Support is nil! Get a Leatherman!! Got over four and never regretted it. Gerber makes good stuff to! Sorry if I couldn't answer you adequately.

I bought my tool in early May of 2012. It is a 2.0 amp and was brand new. It has been very useful for me and is still working well. What might have happened was a mix-up or typo on a new advertisement about the tool. You should try to contact the seller and ask if it is new or re-conditioned. If you are not satisfied you can look up the new oscillating Dermel tool which has recently come out. There are also other brands you can look up but you have to consider if blades from other tools will work with the one you choose.

I believe further back the blade is serrated. Unfortunately I can't double-check since I mislaid it and haven't been able to find it. Sorry.

Mine came with a foliage green sheath. I bought the straight blade though, don't have a clue what the serrated one comes with.

I am not certain if the version of the Leatherman Surge , is of 2013 ; but one of the tools ( saw tool ) did look replace able. The saw was not the usual , unremovable piece. The ( flat head and screw driver ) tools are interchangeable ; most tools did look as if they could be removed , but not necessarily , by a person that does not have knowledge of , the built or structure of a leather man tool ; or is not a ' handy person ' for these types of projects.

I have the SX, the difference between the SX and CX is the blade (SX has combo blade) and the CX has the Carbon Fiber frame. I carry it every day and have the replaceable bit set to go along with it. It's like having a small toolbox in my pocket.

When I bought mine earlier last year, the knife sent to me was S30V. If anything, it's an upgrade from what is mentioned here.

I bought a tool at Auto-zone. It's green and has a bunch of torx bits all nicely packaged into a fold-able/deploy-able frame, has TITAN printed on the side. It has sizes to fit all the screws on all my Kershaw knives, me thinks it was around 10 bucks.

I bought my Kershaw some time back and can't address what they may be using now. Sorry

Hi, I thought there was only the one made, I have searched to see if any others and I can't locate another model. The one the was shipped to me is authentic and a great tool and very versatile for its compact size. Haven't spent enough time with it to see its durability, but if it's like all the other gerber gear I have, I'm sure it will take a beating. Thank out for your question, if anything I can do, feel free. Regards, ken

I spoke to a CSR at Leatherman last night who assured me that they would begin shipping product to Amazon next week, and Amazon should be able to ship the product the following week. Sounds like mid Feb to me....Anyone hear otherwise?

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.

My knife states the same as well but there is no significance. . its just the first generation of the knife I believe. There all the same!! There great tools....

As best I can see the pic you posted, it looks like the one I bought for my slicer and it is a wonderful blade. I almost never use the serrated blade. The smooth one slices cold cuts thinner than paper!!
