Congrats on the Wave  .

[sawman]

That is a beautiful Wave. You did very well to buy it

Now, you could use a black clip to go on it maybe.

Thanks guys!

Clip?? NO WAY, I'm not spending anything on tools anymore  I swore officially, didn't I??? lol

Btw, just watched a video online that shows the hidden lanyard loop. I'd seen guys put lanyards on it, tried it wherenot now and I couldn't find the right place  That lanyard ring was hidden as if not to be found ever.

It's not hidden, it's in there where the saw is.

So, what I received today At a pretty good price for Bulgaria. I could find them a lot cheaper on eBay, BUT with the shipping price it would exceed what I paid now with a lot.... so yeah. My first Wave, my first BO tool I've just cleaned and oiled it, so if you see something shiny..  (it was used). It's still a bit tight, though, I don't know if this is common.

It looks hardly used. You get to do the wearing in!

Thanks guys! The guy from whom I bought it even claimed that the plain blade hadn't been used at all. Which, by the looks of it, might be true. The screwdrivers, the saw and the serrated blades look used / there are some.. irregularities in the coating/ as well as maybe the pliers. But most of it is like new indeed.

And remember what I said about it being a well broken-in tool. If anything were going to break, it's already had a chance to. Take good care of that one and it will serve you well

@sawman

Yeah, well said

The slightly customized Surge hangin out with the old Destructo Field Tool.

That surge looks


Btw, guys, doesn't the BO coating wear out easily? I mean, as you too noticed, mine doesn't seem to have been used that much, moreover it's still stiff-ish. But at some places the black has faded, at some places it even looks a bit brownish. So, I guess, it will soon look quite older than it is.

 Just found a disadvantage of the BO () You can't tell when it's dirty.

Remember I mentioned that my used new-looking Wave that arrived a few days ago was tight? Well, no oil, no Wd40, no playing with it helped it loosen a bit.

Well, today I washed it with hot water & soap and it's sooo much smoother. So there's been aparently grime & grease & crap that I couldn't see which caused its being tightish.
