If they come out with a watch, I have to wonder what sort of flaming hoops I have to navigate in order to buy one. As a collector, I would feel honour bound to buy one of them if the price was ok.  :think:

As for Leatherman banning you, not surprised. They have subtly changed in the last few years into something I don't much care for. They ignored me twice on two separate phone calls once they found out I was one of those pesky Canadians.
A little Leatherman information.

I recvd a mail back from them that i did not adhere to the rules. I sent a mail back asking which rule did i break? After me another Gentlemen also made a similar remark as to the  watch and the Signal and i see he is also banned.

Thank you for keeping us in the loop about that.  :tu:
And welcome to MTo!
I wonder what they say concerning "rules" and I hope LM is just a bit panicky because they are in "SHOT-Show is coming, everything is now in top-secret lockdown" mode.

Lm did reply back. I used the following words describing the LM watch : " fugly, if you ask me!".

According to them the word Fugly is not allowed, and i got banned for using that word.

On a recent Facebook post, leatherman posted a photo and said that big things were coming and they wanted people to guess.

Well, the people that posted a correction  guess got in trouble!

I'm thinking it's getting about time for me to write leatherman a very nice letter humbly asking if I can get a single for mto to look at/test.

I got a very nice reply from Leatherman.

That would be awesome if they did that for us. If it went well it might even open up a rapport for future releases.

Hi Joel,
 
Thanks for reaching out to us with your interest. We value the relationship we have with our fans and followers, and feedback on our new products is important. The Leatherman Signal won’t be launched until January 20th, during SHOT Show in Las Vegas. During that time, we’ll be sharing more information on the tool, release dates, and have samples at the show for our distributors and attendees of SHOT Show. We’ll also be active on social media, launching the same information to our fans and followers. However, we won’t have samples for Media, PR or other projects until we reach closer to the release date.
 
Thank you again, for your kind email and interest in our products. We hope you like what you see on January 20th!

Defend the Hive!!!

Just as they planned, I really can't discern much from that pic. You can't even tell if that's the "tool end" (in which case it's not MUT shaped), or if it's the pliers end. Doesn't really tell us much IMHO  :think:

We are looking at the plier-end of the tool in that picture. It appears the blade, or possibly saw is deployed and that is what the striker is being stricken (? lol) on. It is an outside access tool that is deployed. It sort of looks like the striker "assembly" is a whistle, perhaps. Also, their is something on top of the handle, just under the hand-model's pointer finger.

Firesteel on a whistle means bits of magnesium in the mouth ... so let's hope that's not the case  :facepalm:

The something on the handle kind of looks like a flicky plier release button ... so how sure are we that's not the tool end of a OHT style tool?

You can see the "ramps" on the bottom of the plier head facing out of the end of the tool in this picture. Maybe the striker isn't a whistle - was the signal supposed to have a light? Maybe is a light or the compass. You are right, though - I wouldn't want magnesium all over something I was going  to put my mouth on.  Lol
