Hello from Washington State
on: February 24, 2020, 12:15:43 AM
Hi Everyone,

I am a new member (have been a longtime lurker) from Washington State. Im about a 15 mile drive across the border from Leatherman's facilities in Portland, Oregon.

I have been a avid multitool user since purchasing my first Wave in 2007. That tool lived on my right hip for years while working in the wine industry. Thank goodness for that warranty though because that tool had been used and abused to death, and now its been replaced with a brand spanking new tool.

Now its joined by another wave and a few of the plus models, a EOD Mut, a Free P2 and P4 and a Signal(the green topographic model). Always looking to add a few more though.

If I am not carrying a multitool, I usually have a folding knife of sorts with me. Kershaw, CRKT or a leatherman knife.

I am really interested in modding/customizing some of my tools and knives. I look forward to being an active member here. Talk with you all soon!
Cheers!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Here are just a few of the Waves I have. I am working on pictures of all the other multitools and knives I have. But this will have to suffice for now.

Thanks! I like them too.
Though that standard wave at the back could stand to have some upgrades made... Maybe a 154cm or S30V blade from a charge, some new jaws, and possibly an acid wash/stone tumbled finish... haven't really decided yet...
