Leatherman Wave Plus Multi-Tool

The Leatherman Wave Plus delivers 18 fully functional tools — including two outside-accessible blade deployments, spring-loaded needle-nose pliers, a serrated knife, and a saw — in a stainless steel body backed by Leatherman's 25-year warranty. The benchmark EDC multi-tool for outdoor users who want professional-grade tool quality in a field-carry format.

Leatherman Wave Plus Multi-Tool: 18 Tools with Outside-Accessible Blade Access

The outside-accessible blade deployment is the Wave's most used feature — the primary blade and serrated blade lock open from the outside of the handles without opening the full tool, allowing one-handed knife access in the field situations where opening a multi-tool two-handed is impractical. Leatherman's plier quality is noticeably better than competing multi-tools at similar pricing — the jaw alignment is tighter, the spring action is smoother, and the needle-nose tip reaches small hardware and crimps effectively where inferior jaws spread under pressure. The saw cuts branch sizes useful for emergency shelter construction and camp prep in the field.

• 18 tools including outside-accessible primary blade and serrated blade for one-hand deployment
• Spring-loaded needle-nose pliers with wire cutters and replaceable hard-wire cutter inserts
• Saw for wood cutting on shelter construction and camp tasks requiring branch management
• All tools lock in the open position — no blade closure under load during use
• 25-year Leatherman warranty covers manufacturing defects and normal use failures

At $185.99, the Wave Plus is the standard premium multi-tool recommendation for hunters, backpackers, and outdoor professionals who want Leatherman's build quality and warranty coverage as a long-term EDC tool. The outside-accessible blades and locked tool operation are the functional advantages that distinguish it from cheaper alternatives in daily field use.
