I have been a fan of the leatherman Wave ever since they came out - (must be least 4 years). the thing that sold me was that I can easily open and close it one-handed, as until then...it was a two handed job. The blade is fine for most activites and its seen a lot of different tasks over the years.
Every now and again I think about getting a better, stronger blade and hence look at other options BUT I always end back with leatherman and I can't forego the pliers and other tools...as they get used just as much.
Are you aware that Leather man are about to release a Wave upgrade...oooo gotta get one of them as well. I haven't seen them for sale yet but read the article by Dave Ritter at
