Nice ! How do you like the new Sheath ?
Thanks for showing us. The pics are good.I love the snap button and that it's not scratching the tool on the inside.Is horizontal carry possible?
One question, are the OHO holes on the two blades as sharp as I've seen reported elsewhere?Otherwise I do like the sheath

So maybe they're a bit sharper, but not so sharp that it becomes a problem (not on my Wave + anyway ).
Where did you upload the photos? My browser does not show any
P.S.: I also bought it because this one doens't have the "+" on the handles (yet ?). If the next batch comes out and those have Wave + on the handles, I will be very happy that I got one of the first batch (collectors ... ).

Yes. You can (just about) see it over on the left of Top-Gear-24's photo:(Image removed from quote.)
And the Wave + itself, well ... I must say that his one looks like a Leatherman from 15 years ago. Not one thing wrong with it (okay, there was one thing, one of the screws from the replaceable wire cutters wasn't screwed in deep enough, and it touched the handles when closing the tool, but this was fixed in two seconds and with two twists of the wrist ).But the rest of the tool feels just perfect, nothing rubbing, nothing too loose or too tight, handles perfectly aligned (the tool lies perfectly flat on the table, not like most Spirits ). And every part of the tool, inside and outside feels just perfect. This Wave + is possibly the Leatherman with the best fit and finish since, dare I say ... My original Supertool . Okay, my Charges (date codes 0808), my previous Wave (date code 0111) and the two 25th Anniversary Waves (date codes 0408) I recently bought also had great fit and finish, maybe the Wave/Charge platform is just Leatherman's A-game. I must say, all of my previous Wave/Charge tools had the pliers rubbing against the handles while closing the tool, scratching up the plier head along the way, the new Wave + (at least the one I own ) does not seem to have this "problem". This is not a big thing, since it's a tool and pliers are bound to get scratched up during use, but still, I hope this means that Leatherman have stepped up their game, and that their QC issues have been dealt with ... If not, I guess I should just be happy that I was one of the lucky ones this time ... P.S.: I also bought it because this one doens't have the "+" on the handles (yet ?).

I am really happy that they did keep the rounded plier head vs. the squared off Rebar. This seems to be the best of both worlds with the addition of replaceable cutters. I thought for sure they were just gonna use the rebar head. This is good news. Thanks for the pics
I just couldn't resist ...
