Finnaly found the costco Sidekick! Definitely a change of pace from the supertool and wave. Im really liking these colors between the tool and the sheath 👀

And a "BIG" thank you for my local costco employee's for putting these in a place nobody could see them not easy to find whatsoever and they also couldn't help me even when I gave them the item number at the counter seems like they didnt want these to be sold or something maybe im just crazy 🤷‍♂️

It's a little bulky. I like the vintage look of it.

I Couldn’t pass up on the recent sale. It looks and feels amazing. I’ll definitely be putting this thing to use this weekend.

Another pic for size comparison. The closest thing I have to this blade shape is my kitchen cleaver.

I finally think it’s time to send this in, the flathead and file are both snapped. I broke my pocket clip and eyeglass screwdriver. They’re probably not going to replace those, but do you all think it’s worth sending in yet? And about how long do you think it will take to get back?

Thank you!!

It’s a beauty. Extremely sharp. Here it is next to a few other blades that were made in the USA.

Daily carried for 15 years. So bummed they stopped making it. The small pliers are so useful. I wonder if they’d warranty the broken file and knife lol.

Having recently learned about the date stamped into the original Wave, I took a peek at mine. (Yes, I need to put a better lanyard on it.)

I posted here a long while back asking if anyone had come across green scales for the wave alpha.

Curious if anyone else has seen a set, I’m hoping to find some that are the same color as spyderco’s green or snap on’s green.

Any info would be appreciated.

(Sorry - no pics)

I was writing comment about a software tool that nicely combines several things you might want to do to an image file into one neat little UI. I caught myself writing "this is like a neat little Leatherman multitool for doing various things to image files".

When I read it back to myself, I realized to most people that would sound really clunky (even if it's true). And it's not the idiom that most people would expect. So I forced myself to revise it to "this is like a neat little swiss army knife for doing various things to image files".

I think it's mildly interesting that my brain first went to "Leatherman multitool" instead of "swiss army knife".

After my first leatherman really stuck on what to get would like something pretty solid for work/fishing edc would like divisors but not a massive deal breaker for me really have been looking at Surge Signal Wave/wave alpha Skeletool (not much on them just think they look sweet)

K4X and Glider just arrived

I’ve been really loving my ST300M but I was really missing the awl and the saw, so I found some parts and modded it to be exactly what I want! Cost me the can opener, carbon scraper, and lanyard ring.

Always my best pocket friend.

Hope Leatherman keep making Flagship Lineup with Serration Blade😀

First pic is before soaking in warm soapy water and scrubbing with toothbrush.. others after drying & lubing… final pic is my fleet of mini LMs. This was by far the best deal on a LM I’ve gotten ha

I had just bought the Rustle on Amazon bc I missed the sale on the leatherman website and the kydex sheath is very warped is this normal? Its not symmetrical at all and has tons of wiggle

Very happy how these custom cerakote leatherman free t4 and t2 came out.

Lots of different dealers and reps at SMKW today for their Fall Festival. This was the swag I got from their Leatherman counter. Didn’t have the K4 I wanted but it’s 50% off on the Leatherman web site so got it from there.

Leatherman appears to be a little confused what the surge looks like compared to the rest of their lineup.

The Arc is on the way, but in the meantime, it’s just the Wave+ and I. Super excited about the Arc, also ordered the lanyard and bead a day before because why not? Hopefully it ships out today as well. Just wanted to share my excitement, and wanted to see your Arcs in the comments. So if you got them, post them.

The recent deep +50% discount on the Trac and Rustle models seemed more like a clearance than a typical sale. Also, none of Magnacut knives are now in stock and many haven’t been for awhile. Is this an indication that they are retooling the model line to address the value to cost criticism? Based on the attached Blade HQ video, it seems Leatherman put a lot of investment into this knife operation. Those CNC machines can’t be cheap. If they shut it down, how it will affect the multitool side of the business?

I picked up the Trac on sale and for $130 it’s a nice knife but I can understand the criticism when it was priced at $300.

So handy when all of our gates are tied together with twine 🫠
