One problem with the new Wave is that it is strictly right-handed for one-handed opening of the two main blades. Unfortunately my son is left-handed.

This morning I watched him pull the knife out as a lefty (hold case with right hand and pull knife out with left hand - the exact opposite of what I do), then switch hands, open the blade with his right hand, and then switch hands again.

I do wish LM would come out with a left-handed version of the new Wave to address that issue.
