Leatherman got it right with that lovely sheath. The form, the color, the stich... everything is complementing the classic tool it houses within. then again, not all those decision makers at big corporation are exactly smart or have common sense. Heck, if they ever reintroduce them and sell for $25/pc, they will still sell them well.

It may not financial sense but seems like a good idea.
So is this one different? It looks different only in the snap and the lettering. Is it functionally the same or no?http://www.leatherman.com/original-wave-brown-leather-sheath-311.html#start=2Also, what other tools have folks used this for?

I don't have the one you linked to so I cannot say for sure however I can say the sheath I posted about is pretty slim. Comments say some have used the sheath for a new wave/charge. The sheath I have will fit either new wave/charge but its a very tight fit and will stretch the leather quite a lot. I'd say the sheath I have is really just for a OG Wave. The sheaths belt loop on mine appears un-used so I cannot say if the stitching is solid or not. I can tell you all my old leather LM sheaths are rock solid. Sorry I am not much help.
I cannot understand why anyone would decrease the stitch count Saving pennies to loose dollars in the long run. I know Leatherman is a multitool company but making some quality leather sheaths was part of their business at one time. Why go backwards is what confuses me? I do like the MUT Molle sheath a lot so thats a good thing. I added some leather conditioner to the sheath since it was pretty dry. I will stow it with a nice older OG Wave it have. I love the older brown PST sheaths too. Steve C has some great old sheaths.
