My 4th entry ;)  Dated 0199 in both handles.  Also came with the brown sheath which is very nice.  Too bad I don't sheath carry.

I would be tempted to try sheath carry with a sheath that nice if I were you :whistle:

 :pok: :D
I work in an office setting though, so I wouldn't wear it.  However, it's the first sheath that has made me want to....it's form fitted to the Wave and looks so nice.

I only have the nylon version and have been outbid several times over the years on the leather version ones :D They just ooze nice :dd:
Do you have a G1 Wave?  I don't recall seeing you post one.....

I don't know if I have ever posted a pic of it recently or not :shrug: I bought it at a Pawn SHop for $10 and then finally won the nylon sheath for it to go in :dd: :D I will have to add it to the list of pics I need to take :facepalm: :D

Cheers folks - was nice digging them out and playing with them for the first time in a while.

The signature job lives in a glass display case of course, but the others hide away in the dark, lol.

The two (non signature) 20 year models are duplicates as it happens, i remember picking the first one up on eBay and it had been used quite a bit so there's some where to the black coating. Then I managed to pick up a NIB one a while later.

I used to come here a lot.

I love the Waves.  I love carrying my OG Wave as much if not more than my New Style Wave.

That's it!!!  I quit, the old Wave wins!!!!

I have been trying to come up with a pocket clip set up for my OG Wave. Tonight I thought I had it figured out. I had a broken clip from the new Wave. I thought I'd drill it out and use it. But noooooo....

First, just getting the end cap off the old Wave was horrible. A few bloody knuckles later I figured it out. Then the problem was the clip. I could not get my center punch to even phase it. Not enough for a drill bit to bite. I even tried tape and that didn't work.

I dont have a drill press. My mother in law has given me my late father in law's drill press, but it is still up in Indiana. Maybe I'll try again later. Ha-ha!!!

It sure is!!!!  I really would love a pocket clip on my old Wave. I like it much better than my newer Gen Wave. I guess I'll have to give the adhesive clip a try again. Nite Ize Hip Clip I think it's called....

I hate belt carry....

I've never really used an old Wave, mainly because I had a new Wave and Charge before I got one. It's good that some people still prefer them :)

I prefer the screw driver assortment on the old Wave. I have rarely had a need for any different screwdriver size. I don't carry the bit set with me so the bit changer on the new Wave is useless for me, personally.

I like my newer BO Wave, but just prefer the old Wave. I did carry it for over 15 years so I am really used to it...

Probably mentioned here already, from this page https://www.smartknives.com/Leatherman-Multi-Tools/Leatherman-Wave-Orig-Vars.htm
So there are three variations of the OG Wave:
- 1998-2001: Leatherman USA on pliers, no ridge on serrated blade
- 2001: Leatherman USA, ridges on serrated blade
- 2001-2004: Leatherman Tool, ridges on serrated blade

I never paid attention to variations of the OG Waves, until my two most recent OG Waves. What caught my eyes were the smooth end caps of the handles. My latest one has 0404A / 0404B date codes. So, this begs a question: Who has the most recent date codes on his OG Wave?  ???

I like how elegant it looks.
Still, the mind boggles. Four flatheads? Surely at least one could be an awl.  :facepalm:
