Never had a Wave, just the ones I mentioned. Since my experience with Leatherman products has been bad, I will not bother trying a newer model. As for Victorinox, I have a SAK that I took on hundreds of outings and have had since 1970, still in great shape, all the tools work except I can no longer find a spring for the scissors, somewhere along the way. Victorinox changed the spring design slightly and the new springs won't work. I have a bunch of Victorinox products and they are a great value. I look at some of the prices on Leatherman products and I am amazed at the prices of some of their tools. Some are as much as double the price of a Swiss Tool. No way will I give Leatherman a 5th chance in my kit!
