To me the old Wave was the best one. I love the drievrs the scissors slimmer blade etc. I wish they would have left as is and just added the locks

It does feel a lot better in the hand. I find the new Wave and Surge to be a bit blocky, and I do dislike how the blades jut out of the body excessively and even worse, on opposite sides. I know it makes them easier to one hand deploy them, but I don't like the feel when I am using any other tool on the MT.

With that said, there is a lot to say about the tool selection that the older one doesn't have.

There is no perfect MT out there.

Although I will confess, I was at Bass Pro Shops yesterday and fondled a Wave. I liked it, really liked the one handed blade opening but it just seemed "rough". It felt like it would tear up your pockets if you pocket carried it.

No. It still has its factory finish.

I wipe it down a bit with my T-shirt before a picture because I know how fingerprints can ruin a photo.
