I have a Leatherman TTI and 2 Waves (original and current). There is not a lot of difference between the TTi and new Wave except the blade steel, both are excellent tools.

Leatherman is known for their customer service, should be repaired no problem.

Hi,

In the TTI pouch I keep the bit kit in the rear pocket, Fenix L0D and Ferro Rod in the side pockets and because of your post I just found the pocket under the velcro; I do not know what to put in there (cash, sharpener)?

my holster has a snap, maybe that's why no front pocket. Thanks for the info. since I'm "replacing" a SAK with my leatherman for EDC I want to ask what more do you get out of carying both of yours?

good point! I could "downsize" to one of my basic SAKs and have both.

Leatherman has both cordura and leather sheaths on the market. Which ones are we discussing? Leatherman Waves

yes ...
