I'm still excited. I think this will replace my Skelly as an edc.

Plus a 3d printer could be REALLY interesting if someone wanted to make something for the rod and sharpening peices.

So you'll be our test mule!?!?!?!
Sure

On another note, I have REALLY BEEN considering making a new blade for my skeletool. As well as making it with a flip trigger.

A what now?  :think:
One of them fancy finger flippers? My ZT566 has one and I love it.

I'll do a thread on it as well as my EDC binder bag.

Isn't the second handle in the way?
Yeah but this won't be on the "bottom" cutting edge.

It will technically be a low thumbstud

Looking at the profile of the whistle reminds me of when I added some grip plates to my Wave for a T&T. The profile followed the knife hump.

If I can find a good replacement plain edge blade with good steel I'll have to get one of these. But...I'll definitely wait for the price to go down.

The awl kinda share the same layer with the main blade.

It appears so from the video, although they will be at a sligth offset from each other.

Have you noticed that aggressive bevel on the awl? Most likely done so that the knife tip has enough clearance on folding.

The bevel on that awl is so massive you can almost sharpen the edge of it and use it as a small auxiliary knife.

EDC and OCD. A wicked mix.

For me two of Leatherman's best looking tools are specialized tools. I love the skeletool. I would also love to get a signal and a mut...but to be able to use them, would almost require a complete loadout over haul.  :rant: great designs, just wish they would offer variations (like they do with juice and squirt lines).



good review, he just talked really really fast. Nice to see a size comparison.

The whistle test was pathetic. I hope they improve that before it hits the shelves.

A lot of little innovations on the Signal that I am excited about. I have to say, though, I am a little concerned with the plastics pieces after watching that video. I believe that plastics are very versatile, but just judging from appearance in the video, it looks like very cheap plastic on the whistle and sharpener. I don't see a reason that the whistle couldn't be made of stainless steel - it would probably help with loudness even. I think the abrasive side of the sharpener needs to be covered in some way, as he mentioned in the video.

Finally, why does this guy get to review it and not us? This is MULTITOOL.ORG, the #1 source for multitool reviews, information, and discussion on the web - and they send their latest offering to this guy. Really, Leatherman? Really?
