 shealth Dec 31, 2007
I get these around every two months or so, I open and close these about 200 times a day and wear out the velcro, But amazon is the cheapest source, free shipping and under the price of the local store
 Velcro like Gorilla Glue! Dec 06, 2007
This is a great item! I had to replace the leather sheath that came with the
Leatherman I had bought. The Velcro on this sheath is "IRON MAN" strong. The style is attractive and the body has great support. Try it out, you won't be disappointed...It's a Leatherman!

Great sheath for mid-sized leatherman multi-tools. Jun 13, 2007
At first I had a hard time deciding if I wanted the leather or the nylon sheath for my Charge TTi. One of my buddies has the leather version, which persuaded me into getting the nylon sheath. I ended up purchasing the nylon sheath because my friend's sheath looked very worn and had a lot of water damage.
My only major complaint is that you can only get the nylon sheath with velcro. As we all know, velcro will wear out quicker then the leather sheaths snap. That's okay because I would rather have a velcro sheath that lasts a half decade then a water-damaged leather sheath with a snap.
The sheath actually has 4 pockets. First there is the very tiny pocket right where the velcro is. It's just a little slot that most wouldn't consider a pocket, but I found that my lanyard loop fits in there perfectly. Second there is a pocket on the backside that fits the bit kit. Finally there are small pockets on the other two sides of the sheath. I find that a mini flashlight (such as the Mag-Light Solitaire) fit perfectly in these slots. If you're resourceful then you can maximize the usefulness of the 4 small pockets. I see a couple people complain that the belt-loop is too small. I believe that the belt-loop is plenty big enough for most people, especially after it stretches a bit.
The only reason I docked this sheath one point is because you can only get it in velcro. Although the velcro is good and strong at first, the velcro will eventually become useless whereas the leather sheaths snap will work for much longer. Because the nylon sheath handles water much better I will always stick with it. If Leatherman made a nylon sheath like this with a snap then it would be absolutely perfect.

Nice Sheath, wish there were a few changes... Mar 23, 2006
Okay for starters, I use this sheath daily. It carries my New Wave and I've tucked a bit card into the back pouch. That card came with the separately sold bit pack (which comes with 2 cards of the LM Bits and a sheath of it's own). Anyway, I upgraded from the leather for a number of reasons. Leather can rot and start to stink when it gets wet and it absorbs water, can shrink etc. I hadn't yet developed those problems with the leather pouch, but I didn't like the look and it was starting to wear a bit rough so it looked ragged.
This sheath uses velcro instead of a snap. I wish you could select the option of velcro, snap, or plastic clasp (like a belt buckle) for different uses. I suppose carrying more sheaths isn't really what they want, but velcro does wear out over time.
I also wish it carried the open pliers a bit better. When the pliers are fully engaged, the expandable sides accomodate it fairly well, but the top barely closes. It's even worse when carrying a bit card in the sheath.
The horizontal mounting belt loops are also very tight. You can't put a very big belt through it. This is limited by the size of the sheath, I understand, but do they have to be so tight you can barely get a thin belt through? Maybe this will loosen with time.
Other than those picking of nits, I have to say that this is a nice sheath, it's light weight, sturdy, very well constructed and it does it's job. It's a fair price if you can get it without shipping costs and I haven't looked back with any sort of regret at my leather sheath, that's for sure. It looks much more respectable for urban carry with nylon.

Guess I'm not cool, but... Jun 02, 2005
I've owned 6 leatherman tools. I have always disliked the leather sheaths, they can rot, absorb water and hold it next to the tool and are harder to close than the nylon sheath's velcro.
