Woniya's Modified Leatherman for Alone Season 6 

@leatherman I would like to buy The Surge “Woniya” edition.

Leatherman get to it , need a "Woniya" edition.

Hey Leatherman... myself and my buddies all want one of these really functional, well thought out, tools. Please...

I would buy a Woniya special Leatherman edition. I currently carry Leatherman Wave. I have emailed Leatherman to request that they do make a version based on your custom modified Leatherman. My wife and I were pulling for you to win. you had the best shelter in our opinion. You did great in making it as far as your body let you. You did GOOD! Be proud of how you did.

This set of modifications makes the Surge just about the perfect bushcraft tool. I'd buy one and I imagine a lot of other leather and wood craft folks would, too.

I’d buy it. Needs your signature so you can get a few royalties. You deserve it!

This is seriously genius, the amount of thought and planning that went into maximizing this tool is very impressive. Way to go Woniya!

Leatherman wake up!!, this amazing woman has the best bushcrafting Surge out there!

@leatherman you’ve got a great brand ambassador here.

After 5 years of owning a Surge and seeing it in countless videos I can say this is the cleanest set of modified tools I’ve seen! I love that the mini chisel even has bevels for cleaning notches and I don’t even know how that gouge happened but it looks so clean. I’m impressed at how functional you’ve made an already killer tool

I have a Surge, but I'd buy a new version with a saw in place of the serrated blade like your custom version!

I'm not a big fan of multitools because they usually have a lot of tools that I wouldn't want or use. The tools that are on your leatherman, I would definitely use and would definitely purchase one or two if they ever became available! Thank you

Wow ! Those are Excellent modifications to the #LeathermanSurge !!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸💯

Most folks who would buy a multitool would already know myriad ways to open bottles or cans. A "Bushcraft Edition" Leatherman Surge, therefore doesn't need either of these. I love the mods you made to your tool. The fantastic saw blade in place of the serrated blade absolutely ROCKS! Love the gouge and the 3 sided chisel. Leatherman may do well to address the wants/needs of the bushcraft/outdoor crowd. Love the "Alone" series. Thanks for sharing.

Leathrrnan, Another “Surge of Interest”, and what a resourceful person you are. MacGuyver who? You Rock, Woniya 😎😎😎

That is awesome. Leatherman should offer that version of the Surge in their line but with premium steel on the blade

I think she’s absolutely brilliant.

Can’t beat a good Leatherman. An excellent tool for any woodsman. So many good uses. Invaluable tool. Excellent talk.

Amazing information, no wonder why you went so far in the game, really smart, knowledgeable and beautiful

I just found this and I wish more women were like you in your awesomeness. Nothing is greater then a Woman who can do it all in such a great video way. I love this video and I hope more gals follow you because a Woman who can do what you do is Awesome and Beautiful.

She's the best! Truly brilliant.

Leatherman is at the top of the multi tool world by far.

Wow! I love the mods you made! I think my favorite is the gouge! So cool! I didn't know the Surge had those beefy scissors. I have a Leatherman Wave, and I do like using my scissors a lot. It's definitely a weakness of the wave to not have the removable file. I totally hope that Leatherman releases a "woodworkers" edition or "bushcraft" edition of the Leatherman someday. I know the signal is their survival tool, but something more focused on the artsy craftsy side of being out in the bush would be so cool! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Someday I want to make some mods to mine if I get the opportunity.

I love your new ideas for a new leatherman!

That is so well thought out. We can tell your experience is substantial and are a person well worth listening too. I’m glad I found your channel.

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing this Woniya. I hoped you'd win. You got so far. I'm tempted to do Alone but still need to hone in a few skills. Through training I realized I'll need tool modifications. I found this video precisely for this reason. I'd leap to buy a tool with the mods you have. I have been searching for bushcrafting multitools and folders and I'm amazed how little there is out there that's usable out of the box.

Great video! Thoughtful design! I would buy one in a heartbeat...well done and Congrats on your journey.

she is an excellent speaker. No "Umm's" or "Ahhh's" in the entire take. Impressive. And she knows her stuff.

That was an awesome tool choice & the modifications was a brilliant idea. I got my first leatherman back in the early 80's & haven't been without one since.

As a long time Surge user i love every modification...really makes a lot of sense!!

Impressive mods on that Surge! Well done!

Yeah they can call it the Woniya Express!!! You're amazing Woniya.

Very good video. Congratulations from FRANCE

Wow that is the most practical bushcraft/survival multi tool I've ever seen!

Oh my goodness, the gouge and chisel are superb ideas!

Loves seeing you at Rabbit Stick in Rexburg Idaho. Loved your talks.

Awesome! Hopefully the make that one available! Stay Strong and Free!

Definitely the woniya bushcraft leatherman edition would be awesome! Thought you were awesome on the show! Nice content here!

2 years later, and your surge is still awesome!

Such a smart move to customize it. You get so much more use out of it.

Excellent choice and mods!

NICE! Your upgrades were perfect for a crafty woodsman. I would be interested in a custom Leatherman!

I sincerely congratulate you on your well-deserved victory. It's time for laserman manufacturers to get interested in your version. Happy to buy one

Wow! Thank you! You have a new Super Fan! I'm really looking forward to seeing some of your new ideas for Leatherman!

I'd buy your edition. Those are some great modifications.

Love the modifications to the Leatherman and would buy one tomorrow if it was available!!! We'll done.

Love the leatherman mods! Chisel and woodcarving knife would be amazing for a bushcraft version

WOW you are not only a survivor/bush-crafter but an engineer as well. You designed the best bush crafting multiplier ever seen. Thank you. Leatherman I pray you are listening orders would be through the roof with Woniya's signature on it!

Great ideas for the multi-tool. I hope Leatherman listens to you.

Awesome video! I love my surge but this takes it to the next level.

i have a leatherman surge, and this was a great video, on looking outside the box-- thank you.

Excellent video once again! Glow in the dark paint on your ferro rod is brilliant! I have a Super Tool 300, but I would definitely be interested in a Woniya Edition Surge.

Wonderful information, I'm taking notes. I especially liked the wood carving enhancements you had added to this tool. Also I never knew Leatherman made kit with a removable sharpening file. I think Les Stroud was the first honest survivalist that openly recommended having a multitool as part of any survival gear. Since then I've purchased a number of them and have them squirreled away in cars, trucks, backpacks and bugout bags. You video has educated me further on options I had not considered before.

outstanding ! i hope they listen and bring you in on this as a designer.

YES!!!!! so on board a bushcraft/carving/leather working specific leatherman would be amazing!!!

Omg yes please I have the wave + but would buy a Woniya Leatherman in a heart beat! You were my favourite on Alone I was so bummed when you decided to leave. Well done you!

Thanks so much for sharing! I'm upgrading my older / smaller Leatherman and am trying to find a way to purchase a version with the modifications you made to this one. Hopefully it becomes available as a standard release one day soon!

Woniya, this is so ironic. The season finale of Alone in Labrador is tonight! I'm rooting for you and the other ladies left! I was disappointed to see Amos tapped out. He was a great guy. Leatherman is my favorite multitool and the best manufacturer in my opinion. I have a number of Leatherman multitools. I'm currently awaiting a black oxide Surge in the mail. My favorite tool thus far is the Super Tool 300. I can see how the outside accessible tools are very handy especially when you have your head on a swivel in the outdoors. The Wave is a great smaller version of the Surge and a close second favorite for me. I'm carious to know how you sanitized the Surge, did you rinse it off with boing water? The only down fall about the Surge or the smaller Wave design is there's so many crevices to clean. Hygiene and sanitation is very important. When processing game of any size more surface area to get blood, residue, etc on. God Bless you and we'll see you in the wilderness.

Yes, please, Leatherman! The Woniya Special Edition multi tool sounds like a bestseller!

Love your videos! very informative and educational. Subscribed!!

Definitely on my bushcraft list must haves

I picked up your survival card from Grim Workshop. When I read the back, I decided to look into your story. Glad I did. I've seen only three of your videos but you've got me as a subscriber.

I’d buy it if it was a Leatherman Wave with those same modifications! Well done! 👍. I have my Wave and my Surge in my hands. I go for the Wave every time. I just don’t like the size of the Surge. It’s too heavy and too big. Thanks for everything! You’re awesome!

I love the saw mod!!!! Leatherman need to make a surge with one of these!

Yes please!! Would definitely buy a specialized tool for bushcraft and survival!

I'm impressed! Very well thought out mods and a great presentation. I will definitely contact Leatherman in support of your project. It's time they deleted redundant tools and added in some woods worthy selections...

I found it fascinating how many people I'm this show brought a leatheeman and used it on wood and game dressing and still behaved phenomenally

A bush craft version with crafty options would be awsome

I don't watch tv so I've never seen the show but I have to admit your tool changes are solid. I'd keep the can opener myself but I love the idea of a multitool that is functional for woodworking and leather working. A real bushtool that has functions for urban need as well is a fantastic idea

I’d purchase a version of a leatherman designed by you!! You did a great job winning Alone Frozen! Me and my wife picked you from the beginning. Your spirit as being one with the land and animals empowered your ability and resolve. You were always grateful and humble. A great example. Congrats.

Amazing tool kit. Thanks

You did a great job for your experience on Alone. If Leatherman sees this video, maybe they will make a Special Edition "Woniya version" of the Leatherman?

I'd definitely buy a Leatherman like that

LOVE your mods!! Nice work. COME ON LEATHERMAN!! :-)

Yes, I would happily buy one or ten.

Hell yeah! We would all like a tool like that!

Great video...hoping that I could be on Alone, you answered a lot of the questions I had, regarding the multitool rules. Thank you for that. I also purchased the Surge in case an opportunity for me to go arose. Many of your modifications were spot-on with mine too, like having a saw, a chisel, gouge, awl/punch, etc. Also, just so you know, I was pulling for you on Alone and hoping that you’d be the first woman to win. And, that you looked so beautiful in this video too. 😉

Great features! Make it, Leatherman!

Woniya, I have been a follower of your book project for over 3 yearsI I loved hearing your Alone experience that you shared with many of us at last September's Rabbitstick gathering in Rexburg. Now, after seeing this video, I am in love your modified version of the Surge. I have carried a Leatherman since 1987, when a good friend gift one to me on my birthday. Leatherman has been a valued tool for me, and part of my everyday carry since the day I received my first one. Somehow, rarely a day goes by that I do not find a use for this vital tool. Now, I think it only appropriate, in your honor, that Leatherman offer the modified Surge and dub it The LeatherWoman!! My wife has always called her muilti-tool, her leatherwoman, why not make it official and christen The LeatherWoman for all the world to enjoy. Glad to see you looking so healthy and happy. Thank you my friend, for sharing your talents and experiences.

Wow! That lady is pretty! I'm going to have to check out that show she's on!

Love your video, The level of detail you use in communicating to us is exemplary. Great spirit, enthusiasm, technique. Thanks ! Now, I've found that the large scissors on the Surge model a little less useful for what I use scissors most often for: trimming fishing line (esp monofilament line.). Tends to hack-cut and leave scuffed-frayed ends more often that do the scissors on the smaller Wave and Super 200 models. Huge differences noted on light line weights such as 3-8 pound test. Every tool may have its own better purposes and you sure made this one suit your needs. Brava !

Very nice setup. It would be cool if Letherman made for bushcrafting offering like yours.

Very good ideas. Most multitools are made for auto/electrical hobbyists or for household projects. You created a camping/Bushcraft specific tool. I will support your efforts with Leatherman.

Love the Leatherman Surge

Hoping that Leatherman by now is making a limited Woniya Surge Edition! I will be waiting. Keep us posted 😃

This woman was so tough, but Jordan would not be denied.

Great combination of tools, I would get it too.

This is awesome Woniya! Just finished watching seasson 6. I bought a modified leatherman surge from Texas Tool Crafters with a Damascus main blade that i carry it every day and get a ton of comments on it. Unfortunately there out of businesses now. Never seen one modified this much I love it!

such valuable insight here. Team Woniya all the way. For y’all who want to baton with your folding knives/multitools you can half fold the knife so the impacts don’t affect the locking mechanism as much.

I carry the first design Leatherman acquired ~30 years ago on my web belt along with my BK&T Kukri.One addition that you might add to the Surge is a lanyard.I added a fishing swivel snap attached to the Leatherman and 20lb mono-filament back to a alice clip on my web belt.I wrap the mono-filament around the Leatherman when stored in the pouch.I didn't want to accidentally drop it from my boat while fishing or lose it in a precarious position.I had to change a fouled spark plug in a 2-stroke boat motor out on a lake one time with the Leatherman....it wasn't easy,but it saved the day. :)

Multi tools are a great asset to have while doing any type of outdoor adventure... Dennis, Canoahound Adventures

Would definitely buy the Woniya edition.

I'd love to have the woniya version of the Leatherman surge multitool!

Leatherman, I think a removable scotch eyed auger for wood boring would be helpful to put on there.

I want one. Looks nice.

Really enjoyed watching this season, you were a fine competitor and have designed a very good tool set. Thank you so much for sharing. I go to the Leatherman factory store whenever I'm in Portland, will definitely ask about the status of a bushcraft Surge.

Putting in a pre-order for the Leatherman Woniya Alone Edition model … thanks!

I need this surge!

A Leatherman Bushcraft edition sounds like an awesome idea! Maybe with two of the interchangeable attachments. I mean, if Leatherman wanted to they could do a build your own tool and make them customizable so it is the right tool for you.

You are very clever. Enjoyed your video.
