Let me know how you get on TJ. I had an apprentice accidentally snap the tip off the knife blade of my wave a few years ago. I ground it smooth but it's always bugged me.

Off to the shop SWMBO bought it from today to see if they can help.
The "saw blade" broke through its weakest point I guess. Right through the "thumb hole" if you get my drift. I wont be letting it out of my sight over Christmas though.

Yep - they've got 25 years warranty. Sent a few in the past to their UK office and got brand new ones back. They replace it regaless - broken, damaged, etc. I've yet had a replacement refused.

Almost everyone where I work owns a Leatherman and people frequently send them off for repair - all done for free and they come back like new.

A friend of mine used a Leatherman Wave as a tent-peg in an emergency and the blade snapped. He told them the story and they said it's exactly what the leatherman tools were designed for so it shouldn't have broken.
Replaced FOC by Leatherman.

I always carry a leatherman of one sort or another.
Over the years I have destroyed a few by being a little more than silly with them.
All of them replaced/repaired without a single question.
Thats the reason why all my multitools are leatherman.

When an engineer reaches the end of his first year, he gets a personal Leatherman which is his to keep even if he leaves the company.
Amazing tool, though strangely after almost 20 years of using it I am still very much in love with the very simple PST (and yes, the screwdriver does collapse and catch your finger if you are not careful!).
The guys obviously have all sorts of new fancy models...
Also, I used to practically live with mine, it was on my belt wherever I went, I even flew with it regularly as up to 9/11 it was permissible to board flights with a blade less than 3" long.
I will not replace it with any other make... ever.
Nor would I replace my trusty set of Maglites!
