Leatherman Signal challenge: October 2024
on: June 12, 2024, 01:24:19 AM
One goal of mine is to have or request at least 50 badges by year's end. That'll require participation in a few challenges. One will be the Signal challenge, which I'll be hosting in October. The usual rules apply:

1. Use a Leatherman Signal as your primary tool for the month of October 2024.
2. Post a photo of the Signal every day between 1 October and 30 October. In-uae photos are great, but glamour shots are perfectly okay, too.
3. If you have more than one Signal, feel free to use any or all of them.
4. If a Signal runs afoul of any laws you must abide by, at-home use only is A-OK.
5. Mods are permissible as long as a Signal chassis is used.
6. There is a badge available for this challenge.
7. Most importantly, have fun!

I know at least one other member is in. Who else will be joining?

If I pay five figures for something, it better have wings or a foundation!

I don't think I have ever carried a Signal, so this is a good reason to change that.  I'm in  :tu:

I love this platform, It sure is limited compared to surge/wave, but a little lighter and comes with a variety of colors to match outfits   :multi:

With all the colors I am very tempted to get another Signal :facepalm:

I have the TOPO edition and love that one but some of these other colors have always tempted me :ahhh

I will have to see what is going on in October but I might possibly try to participate in this one :think: :cheers:

Ok, October it is!; I'll  attempt to convert one of these (or not! >:D) into a bladeless, so I can bring it in to work and participate as much as I can without worries. :salute:

This looks like a good challenge, unfortunately I may have jury duty, which would make it a no go for me.

Pre challenge update!!!!

"Blue" had just arrived; it will [hopefully] be the heaviest contender of my arsenal for this challenge, as it will sport some mods that'll allow me to carry it daily!  [ You are not allowed to view this attachment ]

Very nice, Juan!  :like:   

I plan on modding my blue Signal during this challenge too, but I want to keep the blade.   I'll swap out the saw for either a diamond file or scissors.  I haven't decided which will be more useful yet...

Pre Challenge prep: sheath mod!

The Knifeless Signal, AKA Blue, was used to make the "bit card pocket" in its sheath so that both be carried as a kit in my EDC bag. It cut thread, pulled needle, assisted in knotting, reap the upper seam apart and, pulled the seam's cutted bits from the webbing. So far so good; see you all in October! :salute:

The sheath my Signal rides in has the bit kit compartment at the back. I do believe I like Juan's design better! :tu:

Thank you!

You know, you can do that to yours, and then you'll be able to carry both bit cards, or have an extra pocket for whatever need arrises! :D

 (I've done it to my Wave's and Surge's sheaths; shoutout to Mc Stitchy for the idea!!!)

The Signal Challenge Badge is an elite medallion of personal glory, heretofore earned only by myself  :D and five other glorious MTO members:  Fireman, Monrogue, Obi1shinobee, pa_strunk and pietervn.  This is a rare opportunity to achieve greatness that should not be ignored.

 :cheers:   :ahhh
