Since getting my SS ST 300 a few months back I have been really wanting the BO version. Well I did it.................... Here she is in all her glory along with my SS one.
A little necessary but then very satisfying.
I wish this was my latest leatherman but I am not going to bid on itlooks nice though
This has to be the record for the fastest mail I have ever received over here. Just over two weeks.My first and only Leatherman. A SS Wave purchased second hand off Joel.Very impressed with the OH opening knife and I have to admit coming into this I did not think I would like it. Are they all this smooth and easy to open or has it been broke in a little you think? Came to me very sharp (thanks Joel) which is good cause every time I am about to buy a Edge Pro Apex another SAK or MT come along that I just have to buy.Excellent condition. Like new for all intents and purposes.Initial thoughts.I am a huge Spyderco fanboi so don't tell my friends on the Spydie forum but my first thought after playing with the OHO blade for a while was "I could get away with just carrying this one tool"Eye glass mini drive or whatever it is called. Worthless. For me anyhow. Mod time I suppose. Any good idea of what to switch it out with?Scissors are win and the large flat head screwdriver would make a nifty mini pry bar I think.Now for the thing that has me the most excited. Well maybe tied with the knife. The nylon case. Specifically the little stretch bit on the side that seemingly were made for my little AAA flashlight. All I need to do now is find a fire sourse of some sort that will fit in the other stretchy thing and I am all set in one pouch! Light, Fire. Blade and Multi Tool. Anyhow thanks again Joel for the hook up and before you guys get all up in my business pictures will be up tomorrow when BOB comes back out. Here is one for now so you can see how I feel sporting this beast.
Congrats on the Wave! Nate

Prolly about the same size as far as handle space goes and more bueno as far as usefulness goes.The Saw on this thing looks like it can cut real well. Yes?
Just noticed something else.I was playing, I mean inspecting my new toy, I mean tool and was like how do I tell which knife I am about to open? Not a fan of serrated blades. Wen I noticed a little bumpy bit at the top of the outside of the serrated blade and smooth on the plain edge.Well done Leatherman, simple and effective. Do wish the blade was some nice S90V or even S30V. Guess you can't have it all and I am sure whatever this one is made of is ok.

texastoolcrafters on ebay sometimes offer S30V blades to suit LM Charges/Waves(new) . I think they are left over from when they are modding Charges with damascus blades.http://www.ebay.com/itm/390961885644

How does one have a spare S30V blade? Someone make them or he didn't need it on his Charge?

Could I replace both my normal plain edge blade AND the serrated on with S30V plain edge blades?
The blade that comes stock on a Wave is the 154CM?If so I think I will just replace the mini driver and the serrated blade with an Awl and S30V blade.What in the world kinda bit do I need to remove these strange little connector screw things?Also thanks for all the info.
