My first Leatherman was a Wave, which I found, many years ago, frozen solid in the ground of a driveway of a bed & breakfast I used to deliver newspapers to. I had to ask the owner of the B&B for a kettle of boiling water to thaw it out of the ground. It had been laying there for at least four months, since the B&B closed down for the winter. The owner of the B&B promised me that I could have the tool, if he could not find the owner. A few months passed - and one morning as he came out, to pick up the paper, he handed me the tool, he has not been able to find the owner. I brought the tool home, washed it, removed a few spots of rust and oiled it; the tool worked and looked like new. This tool served me faithfully for quite a few years, before I gave it to my father a few years ago - he still has it and uses it often.
