I have been carrying a Leatherman Wave for over a month now.I have used it in some way every day since I bought it.I love the thing, but I guess I wasn't paying attention and I recieved a nasty little cut for being"asleep at the wheel".
I opened the blade and when I closed it,I didn't get the blade shut all the way.The entire tip of the plain blade was sticking out while I was using the screwdriver.I went to fold up the tool and when I choked up on it, the tip of that blade sunk into the meat of my left hand-about an inch down from the web between the index and middle fingers.Not very long,nice and deep though.
The moral of this story:dont start thinking of your multitool as a pair of pliers,or a set of screwdrivers like I did.Remember it is a knife too.:)

Yup, should have had the Gerber. The blade on my Gerber sport has a nice positive spring retention on all tools. Another reason I don't like Leathermans.
 
Yeah, Christmas day I was opening something with my Wave and using the knife blade with the tool folded.I put down the tool and when I picked it back up (not looking)the blade was now edge up.I put my thumb down on the edge and luckily looked down before applying pressure.Phew! :eek:
 
I knew there was a reason, besides being left handed, that I gave my
Wave away. Now from what is posted here I know what it is.

SUPERTOOL FOREVER!!!!!!!!
 
I have pinched myself with the pliers and/or the handles themselves on my "multi-tools" a time or two, and that doesn't feel too good, either.:(.

I swear...I could probably cut myself with a dull spoon if I wasn't being carefull.:).
 
That when you were being attacked bt the 755 escaped Al-Quida Soldiers, all firing M-60's, that a multi-tool was NOT the appropriate "tool".
TEACH you a lesson, bring all your LAWS Rockets to work and getting them stolen and all.
I hope the 12 day surgery, performed at USC medical center AND THEN at Emory Med center to repair all the damage went well:eek: :eek: :p ;) ;) wolf
 
It is actually not as deep as it looked at first.I don't blame the design of the tool.Common sense dictates:if you are going to close the blade,close it all the way.I learned my lesson.
12 day surgery Wolfmann?Don't you know super glue can fix anything????
...now where my rocket launcher?
