Well, the new Wave won't fit in the old sheath I have been using for the Original Wave.  I suppose it might if I work it long enough.

But in all honesty, I do find I actually prefer the feel of the original Wave.

I have carried my original Wave in the Supertool sheath for as long as I can recall. I just stuffed some paper in the bottom to take up a bit of length. Worked perfect.

I really prefer the Velcro for work so I don't have to worry about scratching cars.  Sure wish I could find a few new sheaths like it...

I will work on the BO Wave, try to stretch the sheath a bit. But the Velcro is also going bad. Doesn't want to stay "velcroed". LOL

I've got a nylon sheath like that, Velcro it's completely blown out. I've thought about having my mom fix it since she sews all the time. I'm a huge fan of all of the original tools; OG Wave, Pulse, Crunch, Sideclip, etc. Are way better than the current offerings. Don't get me wrong, they are awesome but maybe it's the nostalgia of them. I'd take my ST300 and Rebar to any job, but my heart always belongs to the classics. Until they started updating everything they were all I knew.

The original Wave was my first Leatherman and pliers based tool. I bought it mid 2000 with money I scraped together over a few months as a student. This one is still in pretty good nick, and lives the good life in my car. The only issue I ever had with it was that it would rust easily if I left it un-oiled.

At one point it had rust spotting all over. It took me a few hours with metal polish to get it back in shape. Since then I've kept it well oiled.

It did not have a hard life, but I am well pleased with how well it aged. At this rate it will easily outlive its 25 year warranty. :drink:

There are 4 OG Waves in my collection. It is easy to love the "gentleman-ness" of this tool. The original leather sheath is lovely to boost.

I have been trying to make myself carry my newer BO Wave, but I honestly prefer my OG Wave.

The OG Wave is what I'll go back to today. But I use a clapped out Supertool nylon sheath with Velcro and a belt clip. I hate a traditional sheath. I like to be able to put that sheath on or take off quickly, without removing my belt.  I really wish there was a pocket clip for the OG Wave.

You can add a pocket clip like this to the lanyard ring. Works pretty well and is removable.

Hmmm, not sure I'd like that setup. Seems like the MT would sling back n forth in my pocket. Thanks for the pic and suggestion!

I had a Nite Ize clip on it. That worked OK I guess...

Wouldn't cost much to try. You can get one for a couple bucks on E-bay

I have a Nite-Ize clip on mine.  It makes it more easily carried, but I don't like the feel of it in hand.  The clip is bigger and more noticeable than the clip for the new Wave.  I wish there was a way to have that clip on the old Wave.

It was supposedly a store demo piece.  It has some light scuffing as if it were carried, and the wood saw had been used as it had wood dust or something on it.  It was also a little dirty, but if it was sitting out for many years and played with as a demo piece, then it was fine.  I gave it a bath and it looks great.  It appears totally unused now :tu:

Questions for people with multiple OG Wave:
- Will you acquire more if given an opportunity?
- What will pique your interest for a purchase (price, condition, accesories...?)
- Your price point?

As of the moment I am waiting on my 5th OG Wave. I could not help it when seeing it with its original dark brown leather sheath. The seller claimed new, I have to wait and see. My max is $50 for a new/ like new OG Wave with a new/ like new sheath, preferably the original dark brown. Box and paperworks are nice, but a NIB OG Wave commands top dollars. I will probably keep buying these puppies if given a right opportunity. As time goes on, these will only get harder to find new. The Flair, Sideclip... may be collectors items, but I believe the OG Wave will be sought after by more people, for its place in multitool history.  :salute:
