The Wave Alpha Obsidian is Leatherman's premium take on the Wave platform, the best-selling full-size multi-tool line. It swaps the standard blade for a reverse tanto in MagnaCut steel with a thumb stud, adds the largest spring-action scissors Leatherman has put in a tool, and dresses the handles in textured G10 with a Cerakote finish. It carries the same core loadout as the Wave+: pliers, saw, bit drivers, files, cutters, openers and awl, all outside-accessible. It suits people who want a hard-use full-size tool and will pay for better steel and grip; the standard Wave+ remains the value pick for casual users.

Owners treat the Wave Alpha as the best-built Wave yet, praising the MagnaCut edge, the big scissors and the G10 grip. Most complaints center on weight and the price gap over the Wave+.
The Leatherman Wave Alpha Obsidian is a multi-tool built around a MagnaCut steel blade. The blade is a reverse tanto design with a thumb stud, so it opens quickly and locks securely. The tool also includes the largest spring-action scissors Leatherman has ever included in a multi-tool.
The handle scales are made of G10 and have a textured grip. A Cerakote finish protects the tool against wear and corrosion. Along with the blade and scissors, it includes pliers, a saw, drivers, files, cutters, openers, an awl, and more.
