The Oldest Wave?
« on: November 16, 2020, 09:43:21 PM »
Just a bit of fun...

Today I repaired and cleaned up an old OG Wave identical to the first ever proper multitool I bought years and years ago. I adored that one... right up until it got snapped in two by a fat smurf. And like that one, this is also a circa '99, more specifically February '99 (both codes, both handles), so it's pretty old.

My question is though, who's got the oldest Wave?

Post a pic here, and to whomever has the oldest Wave, I'll send out a festive Fuzzy Bag!

Here's mine:





Slight confession... I may have fitted a few bronze washers here and there...

I've got two millenniums. Love these original Waves. They set the benchmark for all MTs. I recon LM could re-release as a heritage.

I only have one older one in my group of three:  0699/0799, 0501/0501, 0501A/0302A

Does anyone know what the significance is of the "A" suffix on the (presumably) youngest one ?

0502 and 0504 here. The old waves have a nice sound open/closing.

'02 and '04 for me.

I'm with Max on this, they are fantastic Leatherman's. The only Leatherman with a "snap"  :D

Well... not necessarily.  :whistle:

Only the second wave of Waves have the retro fitted riveted spring that creates that very distinctive and very satisfying snap. The older ones don't have any of that, but they're simplicity is their beauty... or so I like to think.  :D

There's quite a few subtle differences between the older and the newer OG Waves that I can see:

- Rivited retention spring as mentioned, along with the corresponding casting on the plier head
- Jimping on the serrated blade
- later ones sometimes have smooth bolsters rather than the pitted texture ones
- Tool in place of USA on the plier head
- Scooped rather than square cut-outs for the saw and file nail nicks

Anymore?  :think:

I'll try and post some pics later to help explain what I'm waffling on about, but the light is shíte... as Sean Connery would've said. RIP

I only have one older one in my group of three:  0699/0799, 0501/0501, 0501A/0302A

Does anyone know what the significance is of the "A" suffix on the (presumably) youngest one ?

Well, I did hear that the suffixes only start appearing in 2003, but you've kinda put a spanner in the works with that theory.  :facepalm:

Might have a winner here!  :cheers: We'll keep this going for a bit longer, it quite good fun.  :2tu:

😂 The rules say you can only call someone smart arse once per day.

I actually almost sold it off at one time until I realise that it's a birth year wave I believe.

In appreciation of the Wave...

 I think the OG Wave, along of course with the PST, for me anyway are hands down the two most important plier based multitools ever. They are the Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back of the multitoolverse.

Edit: I wonder what would be Critters?  :think:

I have an 0501 in pristine condition. Is that still in 1st gen or second? I love mine blade was scary sharp out of the box! I’ve been thinking of modding; I never use the serrated blade and would prefer a metal saw; would love a multi bit.

The spring retention was a very nice move on the OG wave. The older ones can get very floppy due to wear. I do prefer the spring ones just because of this.
