The long wait for the Wave Alpha is over! 

"Wave Alpha is the ultimate evolution of our best-selling multi-tool, built from premium materials and designed with features requested by fans worldwide. It’s the first Wave to feature a reverse tanto blade crafted from ultra-premium MagnaCut® steel—delivering elite-level edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. A new thumb stud makes one-handed blade access smooth and intuitive. Contoured G10 handles with topo-inspired machining provide a secure grip, enhanced comfort, and striking looks. Features in each handle deploy together, making it easy to select the tool you want. And for the first time ever on a Wave, we have included full-size, one-handed scissors—the largest cutting surface ever on a pliers-based Leatherman. Engineered from the ground up to honor the legacy of the Wave while raising the bar in design, materials, and comfort."

Leatherman has been making multitools since 1983, and over the decades they’ve introduced some serious innovations. Undoubtedly, one of their greatest releases was the Leatherman Wave. When it launched in 1998, it changed the game with outside-opening tools and one-hand opening blades, quickly becoming a fan favorite. In 2004, the design was completely overhauled with easier access tools, a bit driver, and the option for clip carry - upgrades that pushed it to legendary status. Then in 2018, removable wire cutters were added, giving us the Wave+.
