    This has been my edc for years now. Never leave home without it. Almost had it confiscated at concerts a couple times. (Had to go back to the car and leave it there) if they changed it to a diamond file on one side and steel/wood file on the other would be a amazing upgrade and adding a spot for a straight pin. Also an upgrade option for a better blade steel would be good. The knife is not very good for holding a edge,but it does sharpen easily.

      I just changed to the Leatherman Arc as my main EDC. I unfortunately got my T4 Free confiscated at the airport recently. I forgot it was in my backpack and I didn’t have time to go back to my car. I was super bummed.

      I lost my leatherman wave like that. It was the old wave, so i just bought a new one but it was so sad

    Make sure not to run it through water. Mine fell into some mud. Left it unclean for about a week and rust started to build up inside. I had to take it all apart to clean the rust and lube the joints. Still working fine one handed. A little tricky for a first attempt to take it apart and clean, but after a few times doing it, it's like clockworks and quite easy. Wonderful tool to use.

      Yes good points. When I have to clean mine, I use soap and water really good all over where I can access it. Then I use compressed air to ensure I blow all the water out from any hard to reach spots that need to be dried.

    Every SAK I have ever owned (except lost ones) has shed the red plastic grips one side or both. I have therefore been looking for an alternative so just bought one of these after days going through reviews.

    Might just be the unicorn “tiny EDC” with LOCKING tools I’ve been looking for! Would like a can opener, as well, but I have other EDC items with the can opener, so I’ll get by. 😅. TFS ☮️

    I have used this knife every day for over 3 years. All the tools are great, and can be opened comfortably with one hand. Except for the blade itself, which is more difficult to open. The blade is made of 420HC steel, which does not have acceptable durability. For a knife in this price range, I would expect a higher quality steel choice than the basic knife steel for the cheapest knives. I am able to sharpen the blade to make it shave, but after a few cuts into the wood it is no longer sharp enough. The blade really didn't work out for leatherman. I can only hope that in the future leatherman will use better quality material for the blade of this knife.
