I have not tried a Wave, but they appear to be better made than the Supertool or the standard Leatherman. Glad it has not let you down. I know the Swiss Tool is heavier but I like the feel and the design. I can live with the weight, when I need it. I actually have a Swiss Army knife that I have taken on every military deployment and every backpack and climbing trip since I bought it in 1968. Not a thing broken on it and still serves me well. Guess I am a Victorinox fan from that experience. Cheers <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
