Ever since I got my new leatherman wave, the serrated blade has been a bit tricky to open. Have oiled and opened lots, but it doesnt sem to be any better. Can anyone give me a few tips?
Its a bit stiff

Jon,
Don't know about the Wave, but on my Charge model there a torq head set into the pivot bolt that can be loosened or tightened to change the resistance - I guess there isn't on the Wave?

Bingo..... I have the wave and found the same thing. There are indeed torque screws that can be adjusted to make the blades open a little easier. They also adjust the handles as well so unless you want a "floppy" Leather man, a very small adjustment is needed.
Ahh, never thought of adjusting the torx screw! That explains why the arm with the serrated blade is also a little harder to move. Thanks for that!
Jon,
Do you have a torx key for it (like an allan key)? Mine came with one and if your is lost I could probably dig mine out and post it to you if you like?

Yours came with one? Mine didn't. Don't worry about posting it to me though, I'll have one somewhere at home.
