Excellent video! Thanks Ben. Just what we were discussing a couple of weeks ago when I asked you about your Ainsworth sheath!
Thank you. There are some other options out there as well. I tried to include some of the more popular ones in the links in the description, including a few not listed in the video.
Great video! Leatherman makes great sheaths, maybe I'll get the heritage one for my surge, but the one I liked more is the one you use, the mexican double pocket.
Again, great video, as always. Greetings from Madrid!! Have a nice day!!
It is fantastic for work, a bit bulky away from work though.
The big leather sheath at 6:16 is the reason why I lost my old leatherman. The “double” stitching wore out from constantly wearing it on my belt and broke somewhere at work. Some fortunate sole the next day picked it up and slid it in there pocket and it was never seen again. Now I just keep my new one in my pocket.
Exactly, a looped belt... well.. loop, is so much sturdier. A belt loop that is just a stitched strip is going to fail because your belt just constantly rubs on the stitching. It is sad that for the price of the tools they don’t have good sheaths...
Marvelous sir! I didn't expect that you will also be reviewing about Leatherman Sheath!
Thank you sir.
I use the ainsworth for my Surge and the black leather medium size LM sheath fit my 2 bit kits, file and extension. Very comfortable setup. In my 300 the original sheath is excellent very slick as well on the crunch.
I have try a few other Sheats like the Ivan Scano is good but required too many space, the Skinth is good too for heavy Duty work or working in very humid/mud environment where leather can't do too much. The 3Ds are bulkys always
I cant believe my best and more comfortable Sheats are the Leatherman leathers! ...
The ainsworth with the g10 red is my favorite one and the surge.
The nylons are good but my taste is always leather. Cant carry a good pair of boots( Wesco/Nicks/Whites) and nylon. Just dont feel right.
The Multitool paradise. What a great stuff!!! Greetings Ben! Come to Laredo for a few tequilas shots! GBY
In my experience, the Leatherman leather sheath belt loops are the first thing to fall apart rather quickly due to the method of belt loop attachment to the sheath. If a leather sheath is desired, I too would recommend an aftermarket sheath made by a custom leather worker. Great video review!
The combo carry leather sheaths they used to sell were very prone to splitting. These newer ones are much better built though. I really like that Ainsworth sheath.
I would assume that if you carry a Leatherman you are mechanically inclined like myself. A little bit of 10lb braided fishing line and super glue fixed mine years ago and it's still good.
I like leather too and having ago and making some myself buying materials off ebay. It don't cost much to buy all you need. Doubt it will be great quality though but something to do as I like making things myself for fun.
Re the tactical army style sheath you mention towards the end. The pouch straps go under the horizontal belt hold loops then on poppers giving you options on either first loop or second loop for different belt widths if that makes sense. You can also make the belt loop anywhere along the back so can set the height ( when sheath is vertical obviously) This also secures the sheath and would never pull off. I only ever seen one person show this correct way to clip that style on bags or belts, as they are always shown flapping about or over the loops and fitted on poppers. That's wrong. Just saying. I never knew this either until I seen guy packing army kit on youtube last year. Game changer and all my pouches are tight to belt and secure. Loving the content though. Watching all of it. I've bought a wave+ here in UK for work use. Not sure about the bond yet. Have an old swiss army knife and trying to make hardwood scales for it as can't buy new. Thank you for the information you give.
You sir have a new loyal subscriber!
That is very much appreciated, thank you sir.
: ) I did enjoy it, thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video Mr Ben. I love the new Leatherman sheaths with snap closure because I hate I mean I hate Velcro because if if it gets a little wet the Velcro is pretty much useless. I think the Ainsworth leather sheath Leatherman sells looks good but it is a little bit pricey. I don't know but they say ya get what you pay for but I don't know if I would want to Shell out $50 when I can get the heritage sheath for $20. Just my two cents. Any way good video Mr. Ben as usual. Keep up the good work sir😀😀👍👌!!!!
13:55 IDK what you do for a living, but I use that extra "pouch" on the side to carry a small "Bic" lighter there. I find it to be very usefull for a lot of things ,specially because I smoke, but also to light up a torch, get rid of unthreaded strands in clothes, survival applications, to peel small electrical wires, etc.
Thank you for this video.
My pleasure!
I EDC my 2nd gen Wave in the minimalist Wave+ nylon sheath (no side pouchs or inside pouch for the bit kit). I find that particular sheath to be the best fit for my needs. It's very slim, holds what I need it to (just the Leatherman) and not too showy.
I used to use the Orginal Wave sheath when I EDC'd the Wave years ago. The current nylon sheath wasn't available back then. It sure is miles better than the old nylon sheaths.
@@txtoolcrib The velco they used for the old nylon sheath made it feel cheap so I never used it. I pocket carried my Wave using the clip. Pocket carry was great, except it made getting to things in my pocket bothersome.
Solid video just bought a Leatherman wave and I was wondering about different sheath options save me from having to buy the wrong one or a to expensive one. think I’ll go with the original wave holster!
It’s a good choice, and it holds up quite well over time.
Double stitching isn't always a good thing. If you think about it there is more holes made in the leather so you are actually weakening the leather for long term use. I don't double stitch my leather unless I spread out the stitch pace.
You make an excellent point. Hadn't considered that.
@@txtoolcrib I have my moments...lol
Double stitching means that if you have a thread pop, you still have the other line to keep things together, the strength of the leather stays the same.
@@nathandkreosote9917 I do leather work for all my knives and other items. If you double stitch you don't always hit the hole dead on so you tend to widen out the holes and on a tight count you don't leave much leather between. Like I said if I double stitch I spread out the count. Not to mention double stitching also presents the chance of cutting the first stitch.
@@adude7050 Oh you're talking about machine stitching, I see. If you do hand stitching it's perfectly fine and can be if done properly by machine.
Even though I much prefer how the leather sheaths look I usually go with nylon. Leather is an effective moisture absorver and having a steel tool stored in a potentially moist material doesn't give me much piece of mind, the same goes for photographic equipment, keep them away from leather, unfortunately, specially for medium/long term storage. Thanks for the comparison, very comprehensive, subscribed!
Leatherman tools are mostly stainless steel and I have carried a wave in the leather case for 20 years with no problem. I agree about metal in leather though as I won't use a leather holster for a gun.
You may live in a more dry climate and take care of your tools as well as actually using them instead of leaving them in a drawer, it may certainly all help to keep them going strong. I have seen some rusty Leathermans before and it proved to me what I have read about stainless steel not being rust proof but just corrosion-resistant. Personally I subject mine to constant condensation due to temperature changes and the leather is not an option. It is a great tool anyway, no matter where.
That custom sheath is in desperate need of Obenaufs.
I ended up getting a Wave plus instead of the surge or p4. I like the nylon sheath that it comes with but I’m a big fan of the leather type.
Excellent comparison. Might try and get that American Beechcraft or a Heritage sheath. They are pleasing to the eye.
Yeah it certainly is. Probably going to be doing that relatively soon.
Great video. 👍🙂
Thank you sir.
My Ainsworth Sheath for my Surge lost the snap button with in the first several weeks of use. I also have one for my Wave/Free P4 and it's held up fine. I'm not sure why the button came off and if it's a common issue.
Awesome video
Thank you sir.
that sheath from mexico was so cool
I’m really looking for a slim horizontal sheath, the clip and carry would be great for me if it was horizontal carry. And the RAE would be great
Great video. I use a Skinth Solutions sheath for my Surge and I really like it. If you don't enjoy threading your sheath on your belt every morning there sheaths are good options.
I have had a few people recommend their sheaths. I might have to try one out.
Genial video saludos😃👍
Gracias.
Enjoyed the video. I can't get the molle style sheaths to work horizontally because my belts are too wide to fit inside the molle webbing.
Thank you. I’ve honestly never tried to use them in horizontal carry. I always vertical carry.
I just discovered the readyman belt sleeve they are something you should check . Horizontal multitool carry secure and barely noticeable.
I'll look into it.
Is Leatherman Signal gonna fit in the Leatherman large molle sheath? Is the sheath too roomy for Signal?
my surge RAE gear sheath with the bit kit option didn't have the spring for the bit kit, it keeps falling out.
My general preference is the Leatherman nylon sheath with the side pockets. The leather is nice but unfortunately reduces functionality for me.
I have always been a sucker for leather myself. You're right though, it does limit what you can carry.
Which of these comes with the 4in tools..(Rebar)?
Thanks
DL
Nice shiny black leather jacket sir! haha gotcha!
Thank you, one of my favorites.
hey ben .. do u ever carry just regular knives or is it just multi tools. I find myself recently leaving my buck 110 at home and carrying my emerson knives. the s.t. 300 always on my belt but the knife has changed for.now
I have in the past. The only knife I carry, and not all the time, is my Chris Reeves Inkosi.
I use the elastic pocket on the inside to store bandaids.
A true handyman will make his own sheath by using the leatherman for his leatherman .
I'm setting my sights on one like that "side by side" model you say you use for work.
It works great. There are a lot of different makers on Etsy, I’m sure you can find something that suits your needs.
I'm lost my leatherman wave plus, so I'm replacing it. The black is offered at the same price. It has the molly compatible case. The snap got too loose on my standard case, and I lost somewhere. The molly has velcro? Will it wear out quicker than the buckle snap?
Pretty sure you got one already, but the molle has a snap. I attach it to my belt horizontaly as my belt is narrow enough.
How can I get one of those Mexican sheaths? I like that it holds everything for a surge.
The best option would probably find a leather smith that would do a custom for you
Do any of these sheaths have the hole in the bottom so you can carry the tool with pliers out? I’m looking for a sheath for my Rebar that I can carry it with pliers out and a safety lanyard attached when I’m fishing.
None of these have that feature.
@@txtoolcrib ok thanks!
what sheath does the regular Surge come with from the factory or is it an option to add?
I bought a Surge not long ago and it came with the new nylon sheath. I store files, a bit expansion kit, a bit extender and an AAA torch. It works great.
Comes with the nylon sheath with extra storage pocket and side elastic pockets.
All the sheaths so far I have tried last about a year. The buttons always get messed up and stop holding down. I have a dirty job on a pipe fitting crew
May I suggest a pancake type sheath? They usually retain their contents through friction, and therefore do not normally require clasps, or buttons.
I have a black surge, should I get medium or large nylon with pockets?
You want the large version for 4 1/2" tools.
TX Tool Crib Great thanks! The surge is back ordered so I’m still waiting for mine to ship
Does the Ainsworth leather stealth fit the Surge with bits?
No, just the Surge unfortunately.
The problem clip n carry Kydex rides rather high even with adjustment. Also, won’t fit with a pocket clip attached to the tool.
If you’re using a Kydex, why would you need a pocket clip?
Hey Ben can you wear leatherman mollie sheath lx horizontally and vertically?
They can be carried in both orientations.
@@txtoolcrib hey ben I bought 2 leatherman molle sheath xl wearing them horizontally. The right molle sheath holds my leatherman surge first bit kit file pack ink pen and leatherman squirt es4 left molle sheat h holds my leatherman crunch second bit kit small flashlight bit extender.
Can a person still get the leather riveted rectangular sheath with a snap like the sheaths that came with the original Leatherman P.S.T. and original Supertool?
Yes you can.
Leatherman 4.5" Box Sheath - amzn.to/35jmDXr
Leatherman 4" Box Sheath - amzn.to/3bRz1R3
You get one if you buy a stainless Rebar on Amazon for 60$ for the 4", basically a Leatherman for 50 bucks if you go that way since the case is 12$.
Where can I get the leatherman wave sheath?
Did you find out where?
7:00 isn't the original much more snug as well? Looks a lot smaller around the top at least.
Is the Ainsworth sheath made in USA?
So I recently bought a wave + from Leatherman and was surprised when I got a sheath too. I didn't know it came with it. Anyway it's the MOLLE style like the large black one you show here. But I don't see how you're supposed to use that style on a regular belt.. I don't have any MOLLE gear to attach it to. I don't see a good way to put it on a belt. Sucks cause it looks like a good sheath.
Weave the vertical strap behind the bottom 2 horizontal straps
Nylon leather an sheath snap continues to break?..
Lol im still using the velcro one
How can I purchase the premium leather sheath?
There are product links in the description.
I can only speak for the wave and the leather is the way to go. I have been through the nylon sheaths and they don't hold up. The nylon sheaths with the elastic sides are the worst over time. The leather sheaths have held up the longest plus they retain their shape making it easy to re-holster the tool.
I am big on leather sheaths. I also constantly use my Surge, so moisture retention has never been an issue for me.
I have bought several Heritage sheaths for my surge... The top single stitching for the belt falls apart in a week for me. The cheap chinese $10 sheaths last longer for me. That is unacceptable that a usa made $20 leather sheath does not last at all.
option #11: my DIY leatherman paracord sheath
I’d like to see that.
@@txtoolcrib I'm still working on it, but it's about 60% done. I am only making it for my Leatherman Squirt PS4 for now, as I can't really get any other models in Hungary for under 4x the retail price. I will add an imgur link when I'm done though!
Nope. Original Leatherman leather sheath,brown is 30 usd.
Ainsworth sheath sucks, snap breaks, read all the one star reviews 😑
