@Juan el Boricua: hope it was something good (ideally reading "pay to the order of")! And you got 15 years out of a microwave?Guess it was, as it lasted 15 with me; it was second hand! It was also a Panasonic. Probably paid itself a loooong time ago.
Looking at the challenge's pictures, how many of us are sportin' the KVP bit carriers?
Day 8I'm team pocket-carry, and I'm not liking the Signal's pocket clip. It makes the tool stick out too far.Here it is compared to my ARC:(Image removed from quote.)Here it is next to my Curl:(Image removed from quote.)...and next to my Skeletool. The thing I like least about the Skeletool is how far it sticks out of my pocket, but it is still not far enough that I don't like carrying it. The Signal feels like it sticks out too far... but maybe I'll get used to it by the end of the month. (Image removed from quote.)
Day 10Taking it easy with a glass of whiskey and a book before bed.

And you got 15 years out of a microwave?@m47mut4nt: that's an interesting carabiner!@Cypren: time to get some stuff done, eh?@Sos24: I can see the hammer being well suited as a pushing tool.@Rich_SD: sounds about right. The Signal blade is tricky enough to open one-handed as it left the factory.Another great day, y'awl! Day 10I guess the ferro rod might be decent enough for what it is. The whistle, on the other hand, could do well with a rework. The sound hole is so close to my lips that I couldn't consistently get it to make noise. However, it did consistently annoy Beijing (my dog). And the design prevents placement of any tools other than the saw on that side.

Day 11Recently pick up another Signal. This time in Coyote Tan. Today is the first day of carry for this one.
Whatcha drinkin?
Very nice! In the early days of the Coyote release, that color was exclusive to Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops. I had a Rebar and was so tempted to get a Signal back then. Next visit to a store in Grand Rapids area, I visited to actually get two, one for me and one for Grant. Then they were GONE!
Day 11Normally, I would use my Micra scissors to remove shirt tags, but it's a challenge month. The Signal's knife was a little overkill, but it worked perfectly
Buffalo Trace
Day 11Used the Signal to straighten out the clip on my Bosch laser after it got bent out of shape by sitting in the wrong position with it on my belt. Lesson learned: it's a bit too bulky for EDC, even if handy. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ]
Day 11: (a bit late. Picture was actually taken in time, and poster on Instagram )I gave another try at an "asymmetric purse" (yes, it looks suspiciously like some kind of leather sap) [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] This one sorted out much nicer than the PoC I did before. [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] [ Quoting of attachment images from other messages is not allowed ] Used the Signal plers head to pull on the needle of the finishing lock stiches, but honestly, nothing is much better than the Cobra XS for that task
I can picture the sweat on your brown as you use your Signal to dispatch that pesky tag.JonesE
I clipped the Signal to my sling bag. It definitely fits better there. Perhaps it would work on my uniform pants, but it's not a work multi, and carrying it in that manner is risky. That's dinged paint on a city vehicle waiting to happen.
Day 11Glamour shot from the dog walk
Now, I must say, that Green Topo, in that glamour shot does look amazing. I am not a fan of Green normally, but just seem to add a touch of class to your picks making them darn near irresistible 😉
