Best Leatherman Sheaths: Custom Carry Options for Wave, Surge and Super Tool 300

Custom 3D-printed nylon sheaths bring horizontal carry, bit storage and T-shank organization to three classic Leatherman multi-tools.

Introduction

A good multi-tool deserves a better sheath than the one it ships with. That is the idea behind a growing line of custom 3D-printed Leatherman accessories that cover some of the brand’s most popular tools, including the Wave, Surge and Super Tool 300.

These sheaths are produced in-house in America using selective laser sintering, a process that fuses nylon powder with a laser. Unlike standard FDM 3D printing, there is no plane of weakness between printed layers, so the finished parts are strong, springy and far more resistant to heat and deformation. Because the maker inspects each part before it ships, quality control is tight, and the current batch is arguably cleaner than the earlier versions that were produced by an outside print service.

Leatherman Wave Sheath: Clip-On Horizontal Carry

The Wave sheath is a clip-on design with a horizontal orientation, built with geometry that fits the tool closely. Every cutout lines up where it should, and the tool sits securely without rattling. If you carry a Wave every day and prefer a low-profile horizontal ride on the belt, this is the most direct upgrade available.

It is a simple product, and that is the appeal: precise fit, secure retention, and a mounting style that stays out of the way.

Leatherman Surge Sheath: Storage for Blades and Bits

The Surge version is the most ambitious of the three. It comes with different attachment options, including horizontal and vertical mounts. One honest takeaway: if ordering again, the Tech-Lok attachment would be the smarter pick, because it lets you switch between horizontal and vertical carry as needed.

Storage is where this sheath earns its keep. One side holds a T-shank blade with a small molded detent that captures the hole in the blade, plus enough room for one more blade alongside it. The other side holds bits, with a locking section that seats into the bit cutout so nothing falls out accidentally.

Fitment on the bit side runs a little tight out of the printer. That is arguably the right kind of problem, since a few minutes with a file lets you dial the tension exactly where you want it. A loose holder would be much harder to fix.

Leatherman Super Tool 300 Sheath: Simple and Adjustable

The Super Tool 300 gets the most basic design of the three, and it is a genuinely good one. The Tech-Lok version offers the most flexibility, letting you slide the sheath up and down on the belt to find your preferred position.

If Tech-Lok is not your thing, the sheath also pairs well with a discreet carry clip, such as the Mod 8 style. Choose the universal clip with a shorter length rather than an oversized one. The clip is designed to change angles, and a sheath with angled cutouts turns the whole setup into a pocket pull-out carrier, something the Super Tool 300 does not support out of the box.

For a tool that historically has limited carry options, this small printed part changes how practical it is to carry daily.

Bonus: A Utility Knife Blade Holder

The same selective laser sintering process is used for a utility knife blade holder, built from a publicly released design and now sold as a finished part. Printed in nylon rather than PLA, it resists warping from heat and should last considerably longer than typical desktop-printed versions.

More designs from the same designer are expected to appear on the site over time, including small accessories like dice beads, so the catalog is worth revisiting.

Which One Should You Buy?

Pick based on the tool you carry and the way you want to carry it. Wave owners get the simplest, cleanest clip-on horizontal sheath. Surge owners get the most storage, with room for blades and bits, and should strongly consider the Tech-Lok attachment for two-way carry. Super Tool 300 owners get a basic but flexible sheath that, paired with the right clip, finally makes pocket carry realistic.

All three are made in America, printed in laser-sintered nylon, and inspected before shipping. If you have a specific carry preference, one of these will likely match it.

Conclusion

Custom sheaths are one of the easiest ways to improve a Leatherman you already own. Strong nylon construction, thoughtful geometry and real storage options make these worth a look, especially for Surge owners who want blades and bits on board.
