Has anyone tried this sheath with the post 2004 wave? How well does it work?

Fits like a glove snug at first and a year later not loose but slides easily

Glad you asked this question. I have a newer version of the Wave (about 3 yrs old) and I ordered the exact same sheath for it. Great fit of the tool in the sheath, snug but not too tight. The sheath fits snuggly on my belt and doesn't slide around. The problem is after about 2 months of use the stitching that holds the belt loop onto the back of the sheath started coming apart. If I hadn't noticed it the loop would have come apart and the whole thing would have dropped off my belt.

The wave fits fine, no worries. It is the stitching that fails over time though.

I use it with my Wave I got in 2010. Fits snug at first but wears in quickly and fits well!

I have an Ontario M9. This sheath is oversized for my knife but that is that way I wanted it because I have to insert it backwards. NOTE, however, that the SNAP INSIDE THE SHEATH will scratch your knife blade unless you cover the snap inside the sheath. I am amazed that no one at Case thought to quality check this item!

I've yet to have loss of grip. I can see your concern but so far this tool has performed beautifully... on wish I could say the same for the sheath.

The sheath is not as nice a quality as I expected from Sog, but it is by no means cheap. I would've ordered a fiberglass from Sog, but they don't off one for this particular knife. The blade itself is worth the money, comes razor sharp out of the box. Very durable, holds a good edge. The sheath serves its purpose, and its not bulky or heavy. After 2 trips into the woods, I have no complaints.

I didn't see anything online. The original can be repaired or used to make a new one (saddle repair or cobblers would have the equipment or better yet there are people who can fashion custom fit sheaths out of Kydex, which is very desirable. Hope this helps.

Yeah brother, looks like 1.5 is maybe max for my leather sheath, but let me warn you, it's REALLY TIGHT. You'll need to "break it in" w/ a leather protectant like Lexol, mink oil, maybe even Vaseline. I'm going w/ a nylon black aftermarket (NiteEyes (sp?) or maybe a Black MUT sheath.

When I received this one I passed my old Leatherman PST down to my son. I think I got it the year he was born, 1987. They quit making PST's in 2004, the same year they stopped making the original Wave. The old Wave didn't have the bit set included with the current version, which IMHO is a superior tool. If you are looking for an original Wave, You will be missing out on the interchangeable bits altogether, which is one of the most valuable features.

I have not used the Leatherman nylon sheath for this particular moder. I have used other nylon model sheathes and they irritate my skin when rubbed and leather does not. Hope this helps.

The sheath is ready to go right out of the box if you have system to mount it too. At most, you have to get some malice clips depending on what setup you're running.Hope this helps.

I dont realy know how many inches close have the surge . But you have the check carefully because this sheath comes in 2 sizes. One is 4" the other is 4"1/2. I got the Wave and thisone was to big. Good Luck!

Yes, I have carried mine at work everyday for a few years and still going strong. I have however had it pull out from getting caught on something, but I do not fault the sheath for this.

Yes, and it is a nice one. Word of advice: lube up the blade with a good oil or gun grease BEFORE inserting it into the sheath the FIRST time to minimize the internal spring from scratching the blade. Really good bayonet setup.

I like mine, the sheath lacks something that would be better. A popular plastics type would have been better.

I actually still have my sheath and worked pretty well. I would think the best way is to create one by using the dimensions from you old one. Wouldn't be too hard. I would figure something in the lines of some alligator clips, some wax, some 550 cord, and something that could use as a sheath like something plastic to put the wax in and then put wrap in some cloth. That would be my best bet.

As new, the sheath has proved to have excellent retention. It is, however, commonly known among aficionados that the retention will loosen over time with repeated use (possibly due to the sheath being softer than the handle and wearing more in comparison to sliding/flexing?) but can be fixed with simple fixes easily found on Youtube.

The knife came with a cyote tan nylon sheath. It isn't a bad sheath but a little bulky and only application is a vertical draw. It does have an interior liner that protects the sheath from cutting through the edge side. This sheath is adequate for belt wear or attaching to your gear but an upgrade will probably be desired.

I have and it will work fine. However I wash mine really well after each dive with fresh water. Also get the kydex sheath. Not the nylon one if you are going to take your knife for a swim. Also rinse the sheath off as well.
