You have done an excellent JOB! really like some of your ideas. Note: the Leatherman Mut Saw can be modded to fit where the serrated blade is..HOWEVER it is very very very expensive to source. At this point all I would do with yours is to improve on the ergonomics as much as possible. Removing every sharp edge so that it becomes more comfortable over longer use. You can also create stickers for the handles that will give you a super reflective surface for signaling etc.

Honored to have a comment appear from one of my favorite channels! The MUT saw costs almost as much as the entire Surge, from what I have seen. Maybe someday. The signaling stickers is a really great idea. Thank you!

@nightshadefern162 I need to check other cheap multitools to see if something can be carried over...I wish they would release a new outdoor surge. Keep it up, love to see ppl tinker.

I ordered a saw for the MUT from eBay, using PayPal, a few years ago. I didn't have any problems. Item works great. I was following the same Alone concept.

I did get some parts from ebay from a Hawaii seller. I just have reservations about Ukrainian sellers. They may in fact be on the up and up, I would rather not find out the hard way.

I think the victorinox Swisstool x is the best for survival and still practical for everyday

The Surge’s removable file so it can self sharpen gave it that one extra point it needed to win me over. If I wasn’t trying to build the tool with such odd constraints, the Swiss x would have been worthy of definite consideration. The Signal, Supertool 300, Swiss X and Wave+ were close.

I have a Swisstool X I bought new in 2004 when they came out. I had to retire it this year because the blade is half worn down and won't hold an edge. the file is worn out and the scissors need to be overhauled. The Phillips screwdriver should be replaced as the point is damaged. I'm heart broken that Victorinox does not offer a rebuild program or replacement parts. I picked up a cheap Surge clone to see if I like the style. There are several things about it I like better than the Swisstool X. 1) I can open the knife one handed, 2) the file, saw and screwdriver are replaceable. I will miss the Swisstool X but the Surge design is winning my heart.

The Surge is definitely easier to mod. I was under the impression that Victorinox does a lifetime warranty- could you send it in for refurb? (or would they just give you a replacement?) If you were looking for a one handed opening Leatherman, the Free P4 has a good tool set. It was just discontinued, so getting one is increasingly difficult. Thanks for the comment!

I carried Surge for three years in carpentry before it got stolen (I know its you Jacky you little wanker), I'm planning to buy new one and modding is the first thing I want to do with it, for sure I'm going to make a small screwdriver from the can opener and grind down normal bits to fit the bit holder. Great idea with the pocket clip and chisel bits.

It is head and shoulders better than other tools. The removable file puts it in a league that very few other tools are in.

Those are some great ideas for general carry as well a person may not always be carrying all the accessories around when a job needs to be done. Have you ever thought about doing a surge /sT300 hybrid? Opens up some other options.

I can be dense sometimes… Super tool. So that was the runner up when I was looking at multitool to build, the p4 was interesting as well. Since I had the Wave+ clone and had some ideas for mods, the Surge just worked best. The st uses different types of connectors for the toolset, so I am not sure how a hybrid could work. Not that it couldn’t- with a welder and grinder all things are possible. Ill be keeping my eyes open for a used supertool to mess with.

@@nightshadefern162 there are a few (very few) videos on the surge ST300 hybrid. Basically you replace one of the surge handles with a ST300 handle. One of the internal tools on the st300 is a saw. Many prefer the cutting prowess of the st300 saw over that of the wave.
