Gerber Customfit Quad Sheath [30-001225] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LY810ID/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_uZV4DbP6KDMWM

Or two multi tool pouches. Either way it's super boot and gear queer

The velcro on mine wore out after about 6 months of every day usage. I went with a leather snap-button style sheath that lasted about 4 years, and one of the rivets popped out. Now it won't hold the Wave for shit.

I would suggest something like this guy: http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-930402-Deluxe-Leather-Sheath/dp/B00004UDGL/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1380905646&sr=8-2&keywords=leatherman+wave+sheath

With it being stitched all the way around, it should give like the riveted one did for me.

Leatherman Premium Nylon Sheath

It’s how I carry my Charge + Bit Kit. I only carry one Bit Kit, though. I store all the “rare” bits at home and all the more common types I encounter fit on one Kit.

Maybe just buy a new sheath?

https://www.amazon.com/Ka-Bar-Leather-Sheath-7-Inch-Brown/dp/B005GREUD0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1466468359&sr=8-2&keywords=ka+bar+sheath

I got this leather sheath from amazon, it's a little on the heavy side and at first it feels strange, I'm used to just carrying the crater knife at work. But now i'm used to it I don't notice the weight. The scissors are great on the surge. My only gripe about it was the oxide paint coming off onto my hands for the first few days usage.

You can actually use a full sized Ka-bar knife leather sheath for the old hickory butcher knife as it fits perfectly and is inexpensive

Ergonomics are terrible, steel is HOLY SHIT bad, way worse than even the cheap shit they normally use in their knives. Get a Leatherman Sidekick or Wingman, they're MUCH better and I think actually cheaper on Amazon. Grab a Premium Nylon Sheath from Leatherman for ~$5 if having the pliers out all the time is a big deal, they're made to let you keep em that way.

Edit: http://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-934810-Wave-Nylon-Sheath/dp/B0002H49E4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1374070376&sr=8-1&keywords=leatherman+premium+nylon+sheath+i+-+4

Further edit: Another option would be the Skeletool and just hang it open off a belt loop or something.

You wanna get the one with the pockets to carry the accessories. It comes in Medium (for the Wave, Charge, Rebar, Crunch, Wingman/Sidekick/Rev, and Skeletool) and Large (for the Surge, ST300, Signal, and I think the MUT fits too.)

Here it is directly from Leatherman.
From Amazon, the medium
And the large

Here’s the bitkit in the inside pocket of my Medium sheath
The extender goes in the smaller of the loops on the outside. I don’t have the extender with me right now but here’s the pocket clip as an analog.

Here is the updated sheeth.

Amazon. It was like 10 bucks I think. It's a Case brand sheath. Edit: I think this was it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004RIEJA8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510329415&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=case%2Bsheath%2Bside%2Bdraw&dpPl=1&dpID=41FsJWrN3LL&ref=plSrch&th=1&psc=1

And if you want a beater knife you can baton wood with, there's the Old Hickory Butcher Knife. You'll need to buy a sheath for it.

It's not what I currently carry, but I've been considering a Leatherman (large) Nylon Sheath with the extra pockets. It's about as large as I think I'd be comfortable carrying.

My Leatherman would go in the main slot, but in the back slot where Leatherman Bit Holders are intended to go I would put a Victorinox Swisstool L-Wrench with bit holder as a separate bit driving tool. On one side loop I plan to keep a flashlight (still picking which one) and on the other side a pen (bolt action with space pen refill maybe? Definetly something without a cap).

The thing of it is, I got this Leatherman Free P2 with a clip (my last multi-tool didn't have a clip), and it fits rather nicely in the watch pocket of my jeans, so I've decided to hold off and see if I actually miss having those bit drivers. In the mean time I'm looking at AAA pocket flashlight and Fisher Telescoping Pen that would fit in pockets too. Right now I'm kind of heading towards not having a sheath or pouch and that's new for me.

Yep. It fits my Glock 19 mag perfectly.

On my belt for 5 years now.

I use a [Leatherman pouch] (https://www.amazon.com/Leatherman-Standard-Nylon-Sheath-Pockets/dp/B0002H49E4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1492345249&sr=8-1&keywords=Leatherman+pouch) ,
and depending on mag size YMMV. No has yet asked to borrow my leatherman tool yet. Can't wait to hand them a mag and see the look on their face.

I've had this one for years, it's holding up pretty well..

And yes my mom has for a while I learned to like it. My son did something similar to this to keep the lights off while I showered. ......and 6 hours later you put it in your mouth and behind your nose - that is the case.

This is the one that I got. Official Leatherman. Snap is better that the Velcro ones. Fits Wave and both bit kits. Side loops hold both the bit extender and a flashlight (Olight i3T or microstream).

I have a Leatherman Surge myself and initially thought the same until I started using the sheath that came with it. It’s a right proper treat to have since I just slip it on my belt in the morning and also the side elastic is the perfect size for a pen flashlight.

[http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DUGFLSW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3BBF0WJXLGJQP&coliid=I27XTH29UUWQ1B](Try this!) Not too expensive, and on my list of things I should get so I have no practical experience with it. Do love that Mora though!

Hmmm... If it's the kind of sheath that clips to your belt, like this one, but probably smaller, there's nothing stopping you from clipping it to the inside of your pocket. So you can reach in and always know just where it is.

I actually found this after a quick search! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TGJB7TX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_N6qRDbY2TEZTZ

Leatherman - Premium Leather Sheath with Pockets, Fits 4.5" Tools - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003ZJOBEE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_VRUNBbAM8DWTM

It took a long time, but I finally had to replace my original sheath last year. I picked up this Gerber Sheath for my old 600 from Amazon for $10 and like it well enough. No complaints, does it's job and has stood up well for the last year.

I figured I'd try it out for $10 and if I didn't like it I wasn't out much. The back has molle straps and I was going to try to put it on, inline with my belt, but my belt is too wide to fit that way so I have kept it vertical with their band through the molle and my belt.

This is the one I use. It is MOLLE to the outside of my bag and it holds my leatherman wave, and both bit kit pieces, and the extender goes on the side in the loops.

Yes, the Victorinox Lockblade Belt Pouch.

It fits most 111mm Victorinox knives.

I carry a Juice XE6 in a horizontal sheath.

Its smaller and lighter but has all the tools. The sheath is actually longer than it needs to be and I think the full size ones would fit in it.

I went with the Rebar after discovering all of the hotspots when I was really working with the wave+. I don't mind the slow deploy. I guess all of this is going to change when the Free comes out.

​

Btw, I really like this sheath with a belt carry.

I also made a clip out of paracord and it actually holds in my pocket.

I was looking at that holster, i have a older model leatherman, but it does the job fine. I also have a 4 in 1 and a 8 in 1 screw driver(s) that i carry like pens that normally does the job. But im sick of having them in my pocket lol

I love it and it has excellent flavor

Pros: it's a Draw fire that feels great between your fingers. For some reason not having those two things are what kept me from totally getting off the cig's before




Cons: the biggest con is the short battery life I recharge at least once a day. I've read some people get spit back but I never have. I only fill it to where the black cap starts and I store it standing up. I have a leatherman holster that has a pencil pocket on it which is where I keep it on me, I also never leave the house without my multitool

Note: according to the guys at ecig-city a version 2 is coming out shortly but I haven't found anything on it but hopefully, it will have a bigger battery

I love mine. The blades came razor sharp and have worked well for everything I've used them for. The locking mechanism feels solid, and having the blades on the outside of the tool is definitely a bonus. I got the black version because it was actually cheaper than the plain vanilla stainless at the time. I like the look, but for the first couple of days I had black oxide all over my fingers after I used it.

Leatherman also appears to be having some quality issues -- I bought three (two were gifts, and I couldn't resist getting one for myself), and on one the tension on the inside tools was too loose to keep them in place. I sent it in to Leatherman and they fixed it.

I wouldn't suggest pocket carry. It's a compact tool, but it's heavy. I have this sheath. There are actually several pockets in the sheath -- two narrow elastic ones down the sides of the pouch (I have a Streamlight Microstream in one side that fits perfectly, and I'd like to get a pen for the other) and a larger elastic one in back (sized for one panel of the bit kit) as well as the tool pocket itself. That little hole in the bottom of the pouch is allegedly for open-pliers carry -- it does work, but I've never really carried it that way. There are also straps on the back of the sheath that let me carry it horizontally (barely -- I've got a 1.5" belt), but it's not really very comfortable.

Mine came with the MOLLE pouch, but I didn't like it. The back has a vertical strap secured by a snap, which I like better than the fixed strap on the standard sheath, but the extra play lets the sheath flop around too much for comfort. However, it is also the perfect size for a 2 oz can of OC spray, so no loss. :) It also has the horizontal straps that are meant to interface with other MOLLE gear. I thought I could make this work for horizontal carry, but my belt won't fit through.

They do make pocket clips, though. I'll be able to review that in a week or so when mine comes in.

Edit: I also have a Swiss Army Trekker that sits in my hiking gear. It's not a bad tool, but it's a "meh" knife. The steel is stainless no-name, and the whole thing just feels kind of toy-like. However, it does have a toothpick and tweezers...not that I've used the watchglass screwdriver in the Wave as a toothpick. That would just be weird.

I have a Wave myself, had no trouble at all with the standard nylon pouch

I saw a similar post in one of the gun related subreddits suggesting using a Leatherman Sheath as a mag carrier. Fits my G23/27 mags like a glove. I was embarrassed I didn't think of it. Best part is that if someone sees it, they just think it's a Leatherman.

Just a bit larger, but not by much, the BK 14.

it fits perfect in this sheath.
