Hey man love the review, i just ordered the black wave but i have one question, is it possible to switch the knive and saw to lefthand position? that would be a great plus for me as i am a lefty.

Thx in advance grtz M

@marcaster2008 Thanks marcaster. I'm not sure about the lefthand position, I don't know the tolerances on that, try asking leatherman.

Thanks for the excellent 3-part review. Its the charge n wave benchmark on youtube :)

[zyhano]

@knivesfishwild Thanks for that ;) Time will tell if it's true, but it is what I aimed for :)

Thanks for such a comprehensive and detailed review. Very clear information and excellent up-close camera work. Learned a great deal, and am now able to make an informed decision regarding which MT to buy.

[zyhano]

@inquisitivewolf Thanks for the compliments. Are you getting one of these?

Aaarrrggg!!! That's the sound of a girlfriend using the knife edge as a dang screw driver!

Hi there, thank you for a great review. You and Virtuovice lead the YT review scene IMO. Great editing and you are to the point and mention a lot of well thought aspects.

My main critique is that you don't mention the Charge AL. You get the ERGONOMICS, clip, bits and better knife steel for only about 20 USD more than the Wave. The TTi is a luxury option whereas the AL is the practical option to the Wave. The Wave looks a lot better though :) Cheers!

im thinking about buying the charge TTi but i dont know what to pick, the wave or TTi.. what do you use more often? the wave or the TTi? and which is more comfortable?

[kinskibrain]

Thanks for a good review.

@zyhano Thinking about getting a new wave. Seems like the best value for the money. Thanks again.
