I got my OG wave years ago at the Flea market.   I had no idea how much they went for so I tried to haggle the guy down from the 35 he was asking. He got ornery that I asked and declined to go any lower but I got it.   I ended up modding my sheath and resewing the belt clip higher up so it would hang lower on my belt.  then a few years ago it got lost. I m hoping it is in a drawer around here somewhere.

I retired it after getting a refurbished newer model. But it was so perfect, except the non locking tools, i loved everything about it so much better than the newer wave.

I have ran across a couple of gunked up ones at some pawn shops , but Im not paying 25 bucks for the "privledge" of gleaning what looks like road tar out of them, no thanks.

Sometimes you can let them soak in WD40 and it will take care of most of the cleaning for you :salute: but it does get a bit tedious cleaning a MT up sometimes  :ahhh I usually find it well worth it in the end though :salute:

Hope you find the OG one in a drawer :ahhh

Love to see pics of the newer one as well :tu:

I just got mine, I haven't decide if I want to keep it or trade/sale.
It's in mint condition 11/98 handles and original package and leather sheath, take a look:

I agree. The sheath is also the best LM ever made! Hope you have that too Chako?

Still very nice in BO.
There are lots of differences, but originals are easy to ID as there are no locks on the handles (for the tools), and the scissors are the old PST type.
