The Leatherman Wave Alpha is the Wave rebuilt from the ground up with the materials and features it always deserved. The same trusted tool set that made the original Wave the world's best-selling multi-tool, now on MagnaCut steel at 60-63 HRC, machined G10 handles with a topo-contour grip pattern, and the largest scissors ever fitted to a Leatherman plier-based tool. Eighteen tools, made in Portland, Oregon, 25-year warranty. MagnaCut reverse tanto blade — CPM MagnaCut powder metallurgy steel hardened to 60-63 HRC, the same premium steel as the ARC. The reverse tanto geometry gives a full-bellied cutting edge along the main length of the blade for slicing tasks, with a strong reinforced tip suited to piercing and controlled-pressure work. Plain edge only. A thumb stud provides smooth one-handed opening. Spring-action scissors — the largest on any Leatherman plier tool — full-size, outside-accessible, and spring-action. These are genuinely large scissors with the biggest cutting surface fitted to any pliers-based Leatherman, designed for tasks where the compact scissors on earlier Wave models left you wanting more. Spring-action means the blades snap back open after every cut without effort. Machined G10 scales with topo-contour pattern — G10 is a glass-fibre laminate material used in premium knife handles and technical equipment. It is harder, more weather-resistant, and more dimensionally stable than standard handle materials. The topographic isoline machining provides a positive grip surface while reducing pressure points and hot spots on the palm during extended use. Grouped tool deployment — tools in each handle are organised so that related implements deploy from the same side, making tool selection faster and more intuitive than a random mixed layout. Two bit drivers with eyeglass screwdriver — both a large and small bit driver accept 1/4" hex bits. Phillips #1-2, 3/16" screwdriver, and an eyeglass screwdriver bit are all included. Diamond-coated file and edge file — the diamond-coated file handles precision sharpening and hard surface work; the edge file handles general shaping. The diamond file is the correct tool for maintaining the MagnaCut blade in the field. Premium replaceable wire cutters — both standard and hard-wire cutter inserts replace independently when dulled, without needing to return the whole tool. Wood/Metal File, saw, awl, electrical crimper, wire stripper — the full tool set expected of a serious working multi-tool, all locking open. Scotch-Brite frame finish — a brushed finish on the 420 stainless steel frame that resists fingerprints and minor surface marking better than a polished finish. 25-year warranty — Leatherman's 25-year warranty covers defects and breakages from normal use. Made in Portland, Oregon. For carry options, see our Leatherman sheath range and Leatherman Tool Pouch. A quick-release engravable pocket clip is also available separately.
