Hello Glock,

I am new to this forum but have been reading it for a couple of years now and like it a lot. I would like to contribute to those subjects I have some knowledge about.
About the Charge Ti.
I own and have used both the Wave and the Ti. The Ti functions more smoothly, tools open and close better. The Ti also looks and feels more robust. The tools on the outside are almost the same as the Wave's. Of course the knife is a lot better. The 154 cm steel comes out of the box razor sharp. (I have resharpend it and this is not to hard to do.) The inside tools all lock and this is certainly an advantage over the Wave.What I don't like are the scissors. They are just to small. A good test for this, is cutting your toenails <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />. The little spring tends to jump over one side of the siccors and blocking it. The pliers are great, very strong and there is a small lever that blocks the outside tools when you use the pliers. The ruler is a bit of a gadget and should indeed be on the outside of the Ti. Then the two bitholders. They work fine but I always worry that under stress, when I have to switch between flat an philips I'm going to lose or forget some bits. But on the other hand the biggest flat screwdriver and the philips are on opposite handles so they can be open at the same time. On the Wave they were on the same handle so you had to close one to use the other. The Ti sheath with the elastic sides isn't something everybody likes. So indeed the choice is hard. When you don't want to much "fiddely bits" go for the old Wave if you still can find it. In an "urban" setting the Ti is almost unbeatable. Deep in the wildernis consider the old Wave and a fixed blade knife.
