The Wave is one of the most popular multitools of all time. To celebrate the wonderful Wave, we are running a Wave Challenge in September.

And now, word has it, this venerable multitool has earned it’s own 30-day Wave challenge badge.

As if you needed the motivation.  :D

This challenge will be run using standard challenge rules, enriched for goodness:

1.  Carry a Wave (any generation) or Wave+ for 30-days. It doesn’t have to be the same Wave everyday, but it has to be a real Leatherman Wave. Modded Waves welcome.  Cheap copies, not so much.

2.  Try to use every tool in the Wave’s ample tool set at least once. Let’s test the Wave and it’s bits a bit.

3.  Post a fresh photo of your Wave every day. Action photos appreciated, awlways.

4.  Post up insights, memories, and Wave stories as you are able. How are those wire cutters holding up? How often does that knife need resharpening? Will that saw really cut through a brass lock?

5.  A final summary at the end of the challenge is always appreciated. How does the Wave stack up against your beloved Spirit or Surge or Powerlock or……nail clippers? Give the MTo community an honest and frank assessment. Did the Wave live up to it’s popular reputation?


The challenge starts 01 September 2018, local time, and will wrap up 30 September 2018.

Because the challenge is expected to involve a large number of MTo members, to make it easier on the mods to award the new badges en masse, all participants must start 01 September and finish 30 September. (That’s why we’re announcing the challenge well in advance.)

With so many Wave fans here, and a lovely late-Summer (early-Spring for those who are upside down) start time, I think we can get a big turn out for this challenge. This could be one of the most epic challenges ever.

So get your Waves out, get ‘em cleaned up, get ‘em oiled up, get ‘em sharpened up and be one of the first MTo’ers to earn the coveted Wave 30-day badge.

Let’s surf the Wave!

To help the mods keep track of the participants in this challenge, we are going to keep a list of participants.

A pfrsantos-acceptable, orderly list.

If you are “In”, and I hope you are, copy the list and add your name. Let’s make this a fun and epic challenge:

I suppose, worse case scenario, you could just use the Wave at home and send in a daily photo of the Wave's awlsome domestic abilities.

I will put my Rebar up for the month and place the Wave in my Ozark Trail sheath.  Getting daily pictures up is my weakness as camera to big to be at work...

Looks as if were going to have a great challenge.

Thank you for putting the thread together, Nix! The Wave challenge banner is epic. :)
