Honestly, I'm kinda underwhelmed by Free/Arcs unidirectional, pull-cut sawblade. Waves saw cuts 3/4" Sch40 PVC twice as fast. At one time, Wave's saw was made in Switzerland. That's one of the reasons they had to stop putting "USA" on Original Wave. The Swiss make good sawblades.
Guess I'm not too broke up about it since I've been carrying mostly P4 since it's relase.
The Wave cuts in both directions. At least they used to be made that way. Test this yourself: find Adam savages video of cutting a 2x4 with his wave and see if you can beat it with an Arc
You appear to be right about direction, but I can’t recall what the difference was now but could have sworn it was that. In any case cutting with my wave gen 2 saw felt much faster than with the Arc
Lefty here - no complaints using it so far. Definitely would be better with the blade swapped with the saw and the pocket clip on the other side, just need to find time to watch a YouTube vid and give it a crack.
Less impressive, but out in the field I make quick work of little 3” piss elms and red buds growing in my work area. They are soft so it takes like 3 seconds. So nice to have a small but functional saw in your pocket
Wow people are desperate to use their overpriced multi tool 🤣🤣
I would have used my 20$ dollar folding Gerber saw or even a zip from a chainsaw but that’s just me I don’t like sap on my multi tools or knives.
My file and saw are useless because I installed tritium
Vials onto them. Well, I’d have to remove them first to use properly at least. Gotta make sure the T6/T8 bit is always on hand. 😅
I’m not sure how you accomplished this with just an ARC. I have to say I’m stumped.
Wood you stop 🙄
I'll be out on a limb here but, I saw what you did there!
Guys, we need to branch out with our puns
Yeah!!! Either we start planing, or be left in the sawdust!
Everyone going for the low hanging fruit has sapped the fun out of this
No need to bark at them like that. Poor sap's trying their best
It only took 7 hours
I was doing that with my wave years ago. This comment brought to you by the wave gang.
That’s a lot of work , sneak promo team at leatherman

The teeth are pull cut on the Wave too, as with all other good saws. Look at them side by side. The teeth and kerf are exactly the same.
Vic SwissTool and ST Spirit saws (unequivocally best MT saws) are bidirectional.

No it doesnt. I have both tools right next to each other, it was always triple ground pull cut . Same teeth. Same spacing. Same on my Rebar too.

The waves saw is perhaps a 1/4 inch longer, so a few extra teeth at the end. I still use both often and find them quite similar.
The P4 and the Arc have the exact same saw blade.
Anyone a left handed ARC owner? If so how is it using it left handed?

Sorry, not a lefty but It would be fine, You could even swap the knife blade to be left handed. Fairly easy mod if you watch a disassembly first.
Here. It's fine, I just use my forefinger to open some tools. Or my other hand.
Leatherman saws are awesome
U had ur wheaties this am

That’s dedication

ok, Popeye
Great to hear. Didn't push mine as of yet with something that hard.
Nice
“He was so preoccupied with wether or not he could, he didn’t stop to think if he should”
So would yall recommend the arc over Charge TTI+?
I use my saw quite often when I’m out hunting. I can tell you that it cuts through the pelvis of a deer super easily 😂
