I've got a wave plus but hadn't used it a whole lot yet. Quality control is excellent and everything works as expected. Hadn't put the pliers or cutters through any stress to test the new head but it's on my list.

So, does anyone have a Wave or Charge Plus? Any thoughts on them?
I got a Wave+ the other day and had to exchange it for another. The first one had substainal blade play on the saw, file, serrated blade. The second one was better but the file still has some up and down play. This was the first time I have ever had to return a Leatherman.

Got the Charge + and am I glad I did!
I liked my older Wave but the Charge + just feels better. From blade deployment to hand feel, it is my favorite MT to date!
The slipperiness of the Wave was my biggest complaint. The Charge + is worth every penny.

Do the new sheaths fit two bit kit holders?
I've put a Charge AL in the old nylon sheath and with two bit kit holders the velcro flap engages at 50%.

The two bit kit holders and the new Wave fit perfect but tight in the new nylon sheath but the sheath may loosen up with use. I also tried the Charge TTI and ALX and they do fit together with the two bit holders but the flap won't reach all the way down to lock it.
However, the sheath can be soaked in warm water for about 15 minutes to make it softer, put the Charge and bit kit inside, close the flap completely and let it dry. The sheath will form to the shape of the Charge making it easier to close and lock it in place. Well, that's only if you really want to carry the Charge and bit kit holder and don't mind getting them a little damp  :whistle:

Is it only me or is Charge now a Wave with a plastic scale and a hook?.. I mean, why not kill off one of these two model names and make it a variant of the other? Do these two have to co-exist in the same universe? Why?  :think: :think: :think:

The scales on the Charge Plus are aluminum. Other than that, yes, it's a Wave with a hook blade.
Before, the Charge AL was just a Wave with aluminum scales.

The Charge has different steel for the plain edge blade: 154CM on the Charge +, S30V on the Charge + TTi.

It would be nice to have the serrated blade be 154CM too.

Do they make these new sheaths for the ST300 and Surge? Might be a better option for the Charge and two bit kit holders.

Yes, they do make same sheath for the Surge and ST300, I assume the Charge and the two bit kit will fit better but can not tell you for sure.

Do you need the saw? Swap it out for the file or just carry it with.

Don't need the saw - not often, anyway.  Always fancied a Signal with PE blade + file.  The Topo etch on the REI one is nice though, it'd be a shame to split it.

I got a Wave+ with the Heritage deal. I must be lucky, as all the implements are issue-free. Even the file sits pretty center and does not rub the inner side of the handle at all. That begs a question, should I take the plier head of this new toy and swap with a Charge Ti one?

Also, my Wave+ has 6-digit date codes stamped on the inside. Is it to differentiate between plus and pre-plus for warranty purpose?  ???
