Featuring S30V blade steel, this knife has an extremely sharp edge. There is a difference between 154CM and this.
Leatherman would be the best person to answer that question. Although things like sharpening, lubricating, and other common things might not be covered by the warranty, I think it covers heavy maintenance. This knife is ideal for use as a boxer cutter since it gets the job done

Selected User Reviews For LEATHERMAN, Charge Plus TTi Titanium Multitool with Scissors and Premium Replaceable Wire Cutters, Stainless Steel, Built in the USA
According to the manufacturer, the Charge Plus TTi can do everything it is supposed to. I regret not having bought the plain Charge or the Surge to save myself $60 in hindsight. Why there's a 54% price difference between the two has not been explained to me. Are you saying that it's because the blade is S30V? Currently, I am not sure, however, my interest will be piqued by an educated response.
In a nutshell The price is a little steep and I'm not sure what you get for the money. There seems to be a quality control issue. Images Take a look at the rough finish and how it pinches! I find the Leatherman to be an odd sort of device. It has a lot of different features, but none of them really fit together My only problem is that I cannot get over the fact that I am so fond of the multi-tasking Every day since I acquired my first Swiss Army knife when I was a child, I use tools. I like when people come out, so I'm a sucker. I assume this is a Leatherman tool. In terms of price, it is a more expensive Leatherman, but not necessarily a better one. It is actually more difficult for me to use wallet than my other tools since it has the majority of the same tools. you remember that first time you grabbed the meat of your palm with the handles when you squeezed the pliers for the first time and your wife was wondering how it work when you squeeze them for the first time. A high-pitched girl scream could be heard coming from the basement when no girls were downstairs) yea, so it is even easier That's not nice. That means you have to be extremely careful when you're grabbing those pliers or else your hand will get pinched to hell. In any case, let me I have a pain in my hand. Both the other version of the charge and this version of the charge seem a little less refined to me than those of In comparison to the Surge or Wave, the action is not nearly as smooth, and the finish seems to be rougher as well. It's almost as if the tool didn't go through a final polish and cleaning Considering how rough the surface is, and how there are a few scratches, it is not as smooth as the Leatherman 2. I'm normally fine with that, but for this thing, it costs a lot more and I'm not sure if it's made of titanium since it's just as heavy if not heavier than its predecessor, despite titanium being an alloy that's supposed to be light. It is supposed that the handles are titanium, but it seems it may instead be titanium coated or What I'm saying is I'm not feeling any The handles are more durable, so I doubt that the durability of the blade is ever going to be an issue for me. So you get one S30V blade, but it doesn't make all If you use the little blade on your multitool, it wouldn't make much sense to use S30v if your bushcraft knife does it. In addition to holding an edge longer than 420HC, it is also more brittle. That isn't a good trade off for some, especially in the case of a tool such as this. If you're looking at that, then you might want to consider buying the regular version or a different model, so that you can save a little money. The Leathermans for $50 are superior to this. I can't see anything this thing offers that the $50 cheaper Leathermans do not. I am well past the time when the tool was broken in, and it still feels rough and clunky to me. I continue to enjoy using my surge Leatherman. The knives flick open with your thumb like butter and yet are solid, not flimsy at all. These are my favorite tools compared to the charge because it is much smoother to open and close than the tools and it has interchangeable blades. There is still a lot of stiffness in the Charge. The Leatherman Charge TTi plus is simply something I bought out of vanity. I sort of regret having purchased it. The original Charge also had a stiff handle and was rough-finished, but it was used primarily as my camping multi tool, so it fit the roughing it theme. A tool such as this will probably be in my grasp as often as not in an every day setting. The Mora knife is the knife I grab if I need a knife, and the Klein pliers are the pliers I grab if I need pliers. In addition to that, I'll use an actual screwdriver when I need one. It's possible that I've just figured out that I don't actually need a Leatherman. I just didn't use the LMs nearly as much as I used my Swiss Army knives, which were so good I wore them out, and I wore out my Swiss Army knives all the time. I found that these really came in handy the times when I needed them and was glad to have one at my disposal. However, this is not the point of the review. The bottom line is that you might want to look into another model unless you have two bills burning a hole in your pocket and then use that extra $50 to buy a Leatherman MICRA instead.
But considering that it means upgrading from 154CM steel to S30V steel, this is not a huge cost increase. The titanium scales are an added bonus! With this bundle, you're getting a lot of tools for a relatively small price. To give you a sense of the difference, I upgraded from a Leatherman Surge to a The set of tools is almost identical (a few differences, like the eyeglass screwdriver), but it weighs a lot less and is less cumbersome At the same time, the price is reasonable and the materials are of high quality. Despite the excellent features, there are also a few shortcomings to consider. If you do not have the money to splurge on the premium materials or you work in a rugged environment, the Wave Plus is likely to be a better choice. I only had a couple of mechanical issues, but they were only related to the price. I had to file the thumbholes on both blades because they were rather rough, so I made them a bit more comfortable to use by using a small filing tool. I am still finding it really difficult to work on the bit exchanger and can opener side of interior tools after working with them for several days. The problem will likely fade away in time, but right now it's a big pain to open them. The bar is getting closer to a 4 now. Although I'm more satisfied with a 4 than a 5, I would still rate this purchase as a 5.
There are a lot of leatherman multi tools I own, and this one is my favorite. With these tools, the wire cutters on each blade can be replaced, and the steel on the knives is better. On this one I did noticed that the knife lock-ups were not as tight as I would expect to find with a higher-end I have no problems locking up my signal with my MUT. The seller is not at fault here as the quality control issue is with them. It would be reasonable to expect perfection from a tool costing $169, but I still love the tool virtually on its own, and believe Leatherman makes the best ones on the market. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because of the knife lock. If not, it would have been a 5 out of 5 star rating.
In my experience, I have owned all 3 of the charge TTs. On the first occasion, I broke the pliers, so they gave me a new one similar to the old one but slightly different. The second bag I carried every day for the past 10 years has slipped from my grasp. There is a noticeable reduction in the price of the new tti + when compared to other versions of the same thing. In order to do this, they made the scales thinner, so that the tool felt lighter and was In fact, it is still the best tool available due to what it has and is even better now that the cutters are replaceable.
But we have to see how it fares with abuse in the long run.
What are the benefits of leatherman over a knife? Yes, but this knife would still be good with titanium scales and a S30V blade steel. It's worth it if you value premium materials and can afford to invest the extra money. Your eyes will be opened. I have been using this tool for the last two months and am very pleased with it. Sure, I could have got a wave and it would have been just as functional, but I'm a gear junky and this tool makes me smile every time I use it.
Its blade has a gutting hook, and the jaws on the pliers can be changed. This is the same as the Wave. This knife has Titanium handles and is basically the same as the Wave, but is somehow There is no guarantee that all the extra money will be worth it. This was supposed to be a lighter device, not a heavier one.
