Velcro doesnt last long!
I like the look of the case, I wear it at the office and it doesnt look out of place when i wear it next to my cell phone. However, the velcro sucks! It lasted me a week or two, and then the loop side becomes a mess and the hooks no longer grab. Luckily my fiancee can sew, im going to have her replace the loop side. A clip/ snap button/ or magnet would have been a better option.
Good for Molle carry, but not for belt
This sheath came with my black oxide-coated Leatherman. While it is designed for use with Molle systems, I thought that I might be able to adapt it for belt use instead. After a few days of trying it, I ordered a plain vanilla nylon sheath designed for belt carry instead. Here's why:
* Vertical strap works well with Molle gear, but is too loose for securing to a belt. It lets the sheath bounce up and down and slide way too much for comfort.
* Horizontal straps aren't quite wide enough to accommodate my normal 1.5" belt, so no horizontal carry.
* No convenient little extra slots for additional stuff, as with the civilian-style nylon sheath.
On the other hand, this sheath fits a 2 oz can of pepper spray perfectly, and is very solidly built.
Good quality, but too big for a Wave.
Purchased this sheath as a replacement for my worn-out leather Wave sheath.
Fit & Finish: The finish and sewing looks good, but I find it much too large for my Wave. I can actually comfortably fit my Wave AND my Crunch AND one of the pieces of my Wave Bit Kit in this sheath at the same time... so you can imagine that the Wave by itself or Wave plus Bit Kit are pretty loose and flop around a bit. I have a hard time returning my Wave to this sheath one-handed, as there is no elastic pouch in the back to keep the Bit Kit from getting in the way (all of the factory Wave sheaths have elastic sewn inside to keep a Bit Kit in place).
Molle Attachment: The product image didn't show the back of the sheath and upon receiving the sheath I learned that the Molle attachment only has alternate rows of webbing. This is perfectly suited to attaching to PALS webbing, but will not work as a belt sheath. Some Molle items I have used in the past have loops sewn in EACH row instead...
