Everytime I'm in Target I always double check the knife/multi-tool isle checking in case they mis-price something. I was in there yesterday and saw they marked down the surge by 20 couple bucks. So today I picked it up. overall nice. and it fits in the pouch on my chopweiler sheath that RainWalker made for me.

Hey! I just got mine also! I love it, just ordered the extra bit kit and a copy of the SAS book. Now I just need a good place to buy some firesteel from.

one thing i was dissapointed to not see was a lanyard loop.

Can't go wrong with a good deal on a Surge! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> I've EDC'd one for quite some time now, very handy!!! I checked at the nearest Target and their not marked as low as I've heard some say... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> They told me to check back in a few days, and said they might get marked down again. If they do, I'll pick up another. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Congrats Wiggity! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Oh Yea... I'm glad it fits in the pouch. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

What was best price and where ? I hit some deals at Christmas on multi - but nothing since. Which Dawg put me on to a Vic Rescue Tool at Amazon and is amazing-Thanks

For my birthday last year, my wife picked me up a Leatherman Charge / Leatherman
c303 knife at Costco for $20 less than the Charge by itself was selling for.

I don't have much use for the Charge at work (office work), but I edc the c303
as it's small. When we go out, I take the Charge in a pouch on my belt.
It's good to have with you.

Cheers

I got mine for 55$ on ebay, its missing the diamond file but I can replace that.
It came with the leather pouch but the quality leaves much to be desired.
I am pretty sure the Rainwalker setup will be a whole lot nicer, thanks Jeff!

Btw, I used it today to add another hole in my leather belt using the awl.
I measured it wrong Jeff, it's actually 1/4" thick.
The awl worked surprisingly well!
I was impressed as it made short work of a clean hole.

Fear not, there really is a lanyard ring. Hold the Surge closed and look at the slot containing the exchange-a-blade. The one that carries a T-shank file or saw. Right underneath the lock, at the end of the handle, there is a gap. Look closely inside, and you’ll see a thin piece of sheet metal. Slide a small knife blade or something similar into that gap, behind that sheet metal, and slide it outwards. You’ll end up with a loop of metal extending past the end of the multi-tool. That loop is really too small and sharp edged to act as a lanyard hole. But you can slide a split ring or some such onto it, and run a lanyard through that.

That’s what I did. I leave that ring in place, in doesn’t get in the way. Then when I want a lanyard, I tie it to the ring.

i was at target again and the remaining surges were market down even farther to $40. I just couldn't pass it up at that price so i picked up another.

Man!!! I wish the Targets around here work get with the program... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I called a couple of local stores and one said they were marked down to 55... and the other store was out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Although it's not like I really need it or anything... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I know the feeling Jeff, they are out at all the targets here as well!
My cousin works there and gets 10% off so we went but there were no more. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />
I'm glad I got mine when I did, I just got the bit kit and found that it has all I need for my AR-15.
That's a definite plus!

surge is the best

I need to call up my target and see what's goin' on.

has anyone tried the add on pocket clip that fits the surge?

My son uses his with the pocket clip. He broke one clip while sitting down at a movie theater, the second one seems to be holding up alright. I carry mine in a pouch, but I keep the clip on it too just in case, it's easy enough to remove if it gets in the way.
