ALX is no more, the AL would have additional cutting hook on serrated blade. No other changes made.
So I sent my wave in for warranty recently and it arrived at their facility the other day... Now I'm wondering if they're just going to replace it with the Wave+ because my current wave is technically no longer in production?

Anybody else receive the wave plus with no + on the scales? LM shows wave + on the site, mine just says wave, with a little different lettering than the old.Just curious

Sending out old frames with new plier heads just to fill demand at the moment
The sheath looks good but the lack of side pockets for a bit extender is really weird. Did anybody already perform a test for those new pliers and replaceable wire cutters?
Why, in all of tarnation, does Leatherman keep putting cap crimpers on the TTi? Leatherman should, AT LEAST, offer a non-capcrimper version of the TTi, but them ugly scales... I'm content with v1.0 scales. Have Rebar pliers in there too, although the tool does not close up completely ... probably cause I removed the metal-toothpick (LOL) for a much more needed awl.

The Leatherman rep there said they have always offered them in both pliers heads. I didn't argue with him.
It's nice to see Leatherman continuing their longstanding tradition of producing tools that members here have already made. Which I am certain were a process of "simultaneous development" and were not ideas sourced from here, naturally.... Def
Ok, so it seems a lot of viewers are commenting on the removable wire cutters. i have only broken 1 plier head in my days, it was on a Gerber mp 400 and it snapped under minimal pressure while holding a small bolt while replacing the rubber stripping on an abrams tank front track guard/fender. So my question is, what exactly breaks when one has the replaceable wire cutter? Is it the possibility that the screw snaps off and the cutter come apart, or the plier head itself snapping at the thinnest point just above the cutters? They seem to be indented into the head a bit to relieve the stress on the screw. I have a rebar, surge and signal with them and havent had any problems with pliers etc. Or perhaps its a twisting/flexing that could strip out the screw over time?I plan on getting both of them eventually, i have a self imposed ban on impulse buys, must sell one to buy one type of thing.Also do the new sheaths have the horizontal carry option?
here's my detailed photo session (picture heavy!) for Wave Charge PLUS models I made for polish knife forum....https://forum.knives.pl/index.php?topic=193911(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)I hope that will help a bit to make a decision Tom
