Leatherman Wave
Thank you for mentioning it. I hadn’t heard a thing about it, so I’ve learned something. I’ve owned a Leatherman for a long time. I finally got fed up with the original model’s pliers refusing to open properly after they had a little age. I launched an effort to find a replacement and looked at every multitool available. The Leatherman “Wave” seemed a huge improvement and it’s what I settled on. I’ve carried this one on my belt for about three years now. Even though stainless, the main blade stays VERY sharp and all the features are usable including the snips that I use more than I ever believed I would. Like you, I’ll evaluate what’s available when replacing it however.
