What's the difference between the Leatherman 830039 Wave &amp; this Leatherman 8300387 Wave?

The difference is in the packaging the 830037 is a box package and the 830039 is a blister packaging

Hi. I'm from Victorinox Swiss Army. The blades are EXACTLY the same. The three differences are 1.) the packaging an 2.) the handle and 3.) The 40520 is NSF approved. The knife usually arrives in a red and white cardboard box. The handle is more tapered than the 40520 and is designed to be more ergonomic. It has a slightly different texture applied to the handle as well, but both are gritty and slip-resistant. The 40520 was designed for commercial kitchens and is NSF approved for food safety in commercial ktichens. The 6.8063.20 was designed for the home chef who does not need that certification on the knife. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Tracey

I have 3 Leatherman's. The wire cutters are not replaceable on the charge nor the wave. They are replaceable on the rebar though.

The 22-01629 seems to come in a box, while the 22-41629 comes in a (plastic) clam packaging. (see page 59: http://www.scribd.com/doc/164931972/2013GerberProductRefGuide-1-13) Besides the packaging, it seems that the logos are different between the two. I own the 22-41629 and are happy with it. I remember having the same question you have and found the 22-01629 the older model that was not in the Gerber catalog anymore, but I can't verify this information anymore.

OOps! sorry I gave a response thinking this was the alox model which I also have. It is the black plastic and great to carry because of its slim design. great tool to have.

I have used their warranty service in the past on a tool I did not fill out the warranty card for. I think I just paid shipping. Leatherman's warranty service is one of the best. They will always get my business for sure.

No. I didn't know, but leatherman.com provides a nice tool comparison feature. Apparently Charge TTI has everything the Wave has plus a cutting hook and a crimper. I printed the compare as a pdf, but I do not know how to include it in this response. Hope that helps.

It depends. They both make different tools but with some overlap. When it comes to multi-tools like these though, leatherman all the way!

It should fit. I bought it for the original leather man wave in the late 90's. I have the newer version as well. There isn't much difference between the two other then the screwdriver . Size wise they are very close. I wore out the case my first one came with so I bought this one. After a couple of weeks it softened up nice.

I believe they are both made in China and the only difference I can see is the 22-41471 is black. They both have all the same tools and attachments. I use mine (22-01471) on a daily basis and it is a great tool!

The difference in the blade material is a factor for the price change. The blade(s) on the Leatherman Wave are made out of 420HC (an affordable steel with decent performance and easy sharpen-ability). The Charge AL (Aluminum) has blade(s) made of 154CM (similar to 420HC but much better performance in edge retention and toughness) and the Charge TTI (Titanium) has blade(s) made out of S30V (a even better steel than 154CM with superlative edge retention but harder to sharpen)-Hope this helps!

NO. The Leatherman company only makes tools in Oregon. I received a genuine Leatherman tool.

Besides being a different blade, 830846 is combo 830850 is straight and better quality, the cx aka 830850 has a special coating. Quote from leatherman website"DLC (diamond like coating) is a carbon-based coating that displays some of the unique properties of natural diamond. It is applied for scratch and corrosion resistance."
