As for the file, ideally it would be removable so you could use it as a sharpener. That would explain why they didn't fan it out. :think:

My thoughts too Nik  :tu:
Didn't the original trademark bid suggest something like that?  :think:

Last page has an article of the new offerings from Leatherman. Sounds like the "wearable tool" is a Bracelet in addition the Watch. Also, the Signal has a knife sharpener, not a dedicated file. No pics that I saw, though.

The style of handle cutouts reminds me of MUT.

I have been sooooo tempted to quip that it was trying to look like a Gerber Suspension ...  :P  :D

No mention of a file in the patent application. :think:

It's the MSRP so it'll be 60-70% of it once it hits the online sellers, so around $75.

I thought about replacing my trusty Wave with a skeletool to save some weight, but it was to small for my taste. Then I wanted to replace it with a MUT (because I just love how it looks) but its far too big and too heavy for my front pocket. Now if theres a black oxide version of the Signal I will happily throw money at leatherman and remove the yellow packing insert before giving the Signal a new home in my front pocket ...

That's a point I was going to make as well.  I like the Wave well enough, but if the Signal is significantly lighter then I'd see that as a bonus. :)
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

Check my last post. There's a screen cap of the article regarding pricing. ;)

What's SRP? I'm familiar with RRP and MAP, but my brain won't connect with what SRP is  ::)

MSRP = Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price

So ... SRP = Suggested Retail Price

Leatherman Tool Company probably made a good move here.  While they watch these board, and take advice from customers, their main objective is to sell tools and make profit.  I like this tool big-time, but will not be buying.  Why?  I have over 50 Leatherman tools.  Why would I pay $100 for a new fire rod and whistle?  I really like the concept and think it will do good for them though.

I actually liking it, ditch the fire rod and whistle and I will have a beef up Skeletool / waterdown MUT.
I need to know its weight. I hope it has 3" blade.

Wow. The forum is ALIVE tonight!

So the File is fold out, the sharpener is pop-out.

My main question, who are the people requesting this? She mentioned this was requested??
