Looks like something my wife would love -- except for the lack of scissors.  It's got that "boy scout" appeal that it markets itself as ready for anything.  More bonus points for it if it gets a product placement spot in The Walking Dead :P

I'm probably better off with a Rebar that's *almost* half the price and (mostly) gets the job done.

Would be a good "starter" kit (?) for someone who still hasn't bought a knife sharpener, fero rod or whistle.

I wish.

I'm actually pretty excited, not for the Signal itself. But for all the mods we will be making to it.

It has so much space for home made, 3D printed, and fabricated parts!!!

That's great! :) You know, I can see a strong magnet as actually being a good inclusion in a MT. It would definitely take some considerations from a design stand point, but still...

How about a mini flashlight in the body of the signal?

Something that uses button cells might take the place of the whistle. I still think I'd rather have a bit holder though.

So as we near release of the Signal I was watching a video that many of us have seen already.


Some time has passed since my last thoughts on this tool and while I still think there could be a different approach to the functionality it's actually growing on me.  Here's why and some other thoughts,
1.  The ferro should be seen as a back up.  I personally would not go into any situation with out at least a handful of ways to start fire first of which is a lighter.  Many of us use the one is none and 2 is one so why not a ferro rod?  We have seen paracord bracelets with ferro rods, tins with tiny ferro rods, and any number of small BACK UP ferro rods so I'm ok with this tool having one.  I dont mind it being plastic but orange would be a good choice IMO as well.

2.  I like the idea of a tool to sharpen my blade however I'm not so sure about the execution of this one.  Obi might be onto to something with his approach.  I would like to see a larger option that like the bit on the MUT could slide into the frame. 

3.  Is there a way to make the frame a brighter color or color options?  I'm sure this has been addressed already but worth noting again. 

I do have some other thoughts but the more I'm seeing this tool the more I see a practical tool as either a backup/companion tool/fun tool/etc.

Hmm, there seems to be a 'slight delay' with the shipment of the first batch from Portland... :whistle:
