Both the Wave and the Spirit are remarkable tools. I've always been nonpartisan in regards to LM vs. Vic. I like to combo carry both manufacturers. Current carry is the LM Crunch and Vic Champion. Like Forrest Gump says, Leatherman & Victorinox go together like "peas and carrots"
Let me pose another question to everyone:If you owned the wave/charge would you feel like you are missing something by not having the Spirit?
the Wave/Charge lack an Awl but the Spirit lacks one hand opening . Its such a hard call to choose between them .I suppose the Spirit offers a more slimline low profile carry and the Wave offers more cutting power.Dunc
It's fair to say that in the mid sized multi field the Spirit and the Wave/Charge family are the front runners . Most of us who own all of the above are deadlocked .Chris
