Yeah. It's the first time I have seen them. That seller have a few different colours. If only they are not so costly.... Signals are so over priced!!   :rant:

Several Signals came thru my hands and I moved them all on  :(.  I should have kept a couple.  This one looks really nice but the price, not so much.

Really curious if they are retailer specific or something. Can't seems to find any info on them. And so far I only can see this seller selling them..  :think:

I saw these on an IWA coverage video on youtube.  They were at the leatherman booth.  I do not know why they were not mentioned at SHOT show unless samples were not ready.

It doesn't seem to have been much of a lead-up to the introduction of these new colors on Leatherman's part  :dunno: But  their website will probably be updated to add them soon, together with the P2 and P4.

They're trying not to promote the inferior black-sheath tools with their new superior grey-sheath Free series coming out.  :whistle:

These are all cerakote, according to LM rep, they are not like the "infamous" orange Wave ::)  From the sound of things they've been testing a lot of different colors but it's too early to have any track record for how will the finish wears on these, apparently they've been doing a lot of testing with their cerakote machine to find which cerakote colors hold up better than others.

I'm wondering if they will make the plastic bits in those colors available for individual purchase or if they will stick to the yellow for this.

Anyone else notice that the red plastic bits look different, in color, for Aqua and Cobalt? Fair chance it is an image problem, still would be fun to have more variety.

It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

:iagree:..I also like the gray with the green whistle and ferro rod, the other two colors makes them look like the LEAP.

That Red looks fantastic. I hope that the different colour bits will be offered for sale soon. All I see are the yellow ones at the moment.
Being able to customise and not having to dye the yellow will be nice.

I sent an email to Leatherman about black whistles and file. The response was that they only stock the original color for sale. I’m not sure why. I think they’d sell well as a customizable piece.

Thanks for the confirmation, pity though...

I don't understand why, surely if it is made for a new tool it can be sold too. I wonder if they will cover it as part of a warranty claim and what will you get? My guess is that we will have to buy the replacement ourselves.
