In 1998, the Leatherman Wave was introduced by Leatherman at the Shooting Hunting Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show. The Wave became the first Leatherman tool that allowed users to access the blades without having to open the pliers. It also boasted'one hand' opening, this enabled a user to open a blade with one hand only and without looking at the tool - something demonstrated by Jackie Chan in the film "Rush Hour" whilst fending off mobsters. The Wave's appearance in this film was its first on the big screen.

Stainless steel with Needlenose/regular pliers and a wire cutter with a hard wire notch. This is the first tool that came out with this style plier head and several of the other tools later got this plier head as an upgrade.

Each handle is made up of several parts and the outside 2 parts of each handle are a U shaped bend designed for comfort. This is the first model designed with comfortable handle in mind.

Also the first tool to have outside accessible tools in the handles. All the blades and tools have a shiny finish except for the file and at least the bottom portion of it has a bead blast finish.

The outside opening tools have a liner lock system but the tools on the inside do not lock. Length open = 6.22 inches/15.8cm. Width closed = 1.25 inch/3.2 cm. Thickness = 0.75 inch/1.9 cm.
