Is that a Leatherman Wave and a Squirt
Yes, a Wave, a Squirt Ps4, and a Skeletool.
The Wave came with a factory defect with the main blade getting stuck while opening and the Squirt's file breaking upon use. Service agreed to exchange the squirt, and replacing the Wave with a refurbished one if it is found irreparable. Boohoo.
Victoria has been kinder to me.

My Wave's scissors broke off which I replaced myself. Now it is like new even though it is my most used tool. My Squirt ps4 has been holding up well so far.

I use the Skeletool much as its more easily carried with its carabiner and belt clip, especially after the Wave broke my teeny weenie heart

just curious, would you know where one could buy a Victorinox Camper with black scales here in India?

I couldn't find a black scale Camper in India. If it is not for collection purposes and for usage, you could swap the scale with a black 91mm model like a Spartan. It should be fairly simple as I understand. Just my 2 cents.

Its going to be for a daily carry. Got everything for an urban setting except a philips screwdriver. Wonder if the corkscrew can be swapped with a philips screwdriver like the one on the tinker and hiker?

Awesome collection. Especially that Mauser handle & favourite red Swiss logo knives are awesome.

A person who can do peening can swap the corkscrew with Phillips screwdriver. There are many who have modded victorinox knives with various tool combinations. The peening rod with correct diameter and other necessary tools would be needed.
By the way doesn't Hiker have similar tools as Camper except the corkscrew / Phillips difference?

Oh poop! I meant to say COMPACT, not the camper. Sorry.
I am looking for the compact in black.
Sorry for the confusion.
In any case, changing the corkscrew with a philips screwdriver on this model would really complete it. What say you?

Would you attempt to mod it yourself? That would be a cool DIY.
