Would a pair of scissors from the surge work on this model? If they will, I could see removing the knife blade and having the scissors and file, or scissors and saw.

For me, the blade and file are perfect. Would love to add a Curl to my rotation, but I'm just not going to give $90 for a Curl when I've got my Wave all set up and good to go already. Keep hoping for a good sale.

Great video Where did the saw blade come from? Leatherman won’t sell me individual tools. It would be great if you went into cost effectiveness. If you have to buy another multi tool to get one implement, then it would be cheaper in this case to buy a bacco laplander or silky saw.

Just did this mod. But instead of adding something I just left the diamond file out with no saw! I'm now at 6.4 ounces! Love this little thing as it has every tool I want without any fluff. :D I'm having a lot of trouble removing the tools on the bottom out. I'm actually trying to remove the scissors (I already have a Vic Rambler) but it doesn't seem to be working :S
