Is something coming...?

Rather cryptic title on the latest video on Leatherman's youtube channel. It makes no mention of anything new or different at all...

There were speculation on Reddit that end of video where Lee Leatherman holds something and it looks like a knife, maybe colored version of K4/K2 or something similar.
Also behind Lee before he comes front of camera you can see on wall that there is maybe new knife desing coming or it could be picture of K-series knife (hard to say since cannot clearly see it)

I got an email from LM with a piece of wood so maybe wood handles as well :dunno: but with the pricing of the garage stuff, I would say expensive as Steve said :facepalm: :D

The Wave+ is out of stock on both the Leatherman UK site and one of the biggest online knife and tool shops here.

It’s like the time KFC ran out of chicken!

I have seen that pic and it looks like wood but it could be also metal with grinding marks on it

I have seen lots of Cheap-but-Cheerful multis with wood handles.  I think that is one of the things that I hate most about them.  Of course, Leatherman might have a different way of doing things?  Best wishes.  G

The top of it has a small piece that looks like a slide out tab. Maybe some type of tool similar to Gerber prybid series?

The pic looks to me like a utility blade knife.

Or something else.

It does. What caught my eye was the blue knife in the second pic.

Looks like the Garage 3. I really hope I’m wrong.

Just got an email yesterday (?) That Wave + is among the 4 tools that are 20% off right now.  They MUST be in stock then, right?

No discounts in the UK, as far as I know.

Best we ever seen to get is free shipping for a lower than normal order.

Looking at those screenshots... please be a small Crater-like knife (blade and screwdriver) 🙏

With a pivot that large, that can't be pliers.  I may get my "new Crater" wish, maybe in Magnacut.

Definitely a knife or knife-based multitool.

     I hope this is a regular production item and not  another  very limited edition that sells out in 7 minutes.

It’s not a Garage release, so probably not.

We can play this game too. Lets show partial shots of our credit cards, and then put them back in our wallets.

It looks like a series of fixed blades and folders is  probably being dropped. If they don’t have any screwdrivers or anything I’ll probably pass. There are a whole lot of companies who are better at knife making.  Eh, who am I kidding?  I’ll probably buy all of them.

No, but looks like they will be priced like it. Expensive fixed blade and folding knives.

 I've said it before but it looks like Leatherman has lost its way. It would have been great if they had updated the Wave or Crunch but it's not looking like it.

I read somewhere that Leatherman is releasing several new tools this year, including an updated line of Waves.  I’m sure they’re releasing them one at a time to maximize sales.

Well I received a mailshot from LM today informing me that the Arc is "The Perfect BBQ Tool"
Maybe that is the big announcement?   ???    :pok:

Hmmm ..... Maybe next time I need to clean the grill or flip my steaks - I'll whip out my Arc    :rofl:

Come on Leatherman - That really is stretching it a bit    :dunno:
