Powernoodle, the knifeless Rebar does not have a serrated blade. At least not in the pics
Actually, there are only 26 teeth on a Rebar saw. "50" is a common metaphor meaning "26".
If I was a "folder guy" I wouldn't mind the knifeless rebar. I would choose it over the gerber bladeless 600. It has a nice tool set for someone who always carries a dedicated blade. Maybe the problem (same they had with the signal) is marketing. The signal is more of a bushcraft tool, not a survival tool. This rebar is one that compliments a folder, not a government approved multi. Maybe I'm wrong but it seems Leathermans marketing department is overstating the expectations for their tools, changing expectations, which make the tools a let down. All in all the knifeless rebar is good. I just like my Rebar II more (rebar + scissors - small driver) I may still check it out just to compare configuration.

I just like my Rebar II more (rebar + scissors - small driver) I may still check it out just to compare configuration.I was looking into the Signal (minus yellow plastic) as a more complete Skeletool, i.e. more of an urban thing really. Think replacing the saw with a pair of scissors and have bit storage instead of the sharpener and possibly a light instead of the whistle. Suddenly more of something you might give your kid who's moving out. A basic toolbox in a small package. I realize the Signal will sell well enough with the Survival hype going and I think Leatherman is way to afraid of stealing sales from themselves.
The bit driver on the Signal hammer (just at the weakest spot).

What I am so completely over is my kids always wanting to use the whistle.
I want a Rebar with the file replaced with a replaceable file/saw option, and scissors where the saw is I guess.

They already have one on the SuperTool 300EOD, i'm sure it isnt that hard to scale down...
