The newer Leathermans aren’t better, their durability and build quality took a nosedive. If you have an old Wave, that’s the best Leatherman you’ll ever be able to own.
It’s around 20 years old, if not older. What’s interesting to me is that when I bought it, I hadn’t done any research - I just walked up to the Leatherman display at the store, fiddled with all of them, and the Wave was the one I liked best. Only 15 years later did I find out it’s one of their best selling models.
The only feature from the newer models I wish it had is one handed operation for the pliers where you can just flick it open like a pocket knife.
