Introducing the new Leatherman Signal Survivalist Multi-tool
If you are far away from civilization on an exciting outdoor adventure, or making sure you’re ready when the unexpected happens, the new Signal multi-tool helps the planning become just a little bit easier with vital survival tools like a ferrocerium fire starter and whistle.
“We spoke with a lot of professionally trained survivalists and if you’re lost, or need to stay overnight outdoors, the main things you want with you are fire, the appropriate tools, and a way to communicate without relying on technology,” described Jason Carpenter, Sr. Product Manager. “If it is part of the tool already, you won’t have to think about bringing it. You’ll already be prepared.”
The Signal was designed originally for the adventure enthusiast who participates in activities like hunting, fishing, geocaching, camping and hiking but has morphed into something that can keep you ready and safe in any stressful unexpected situation.
The Signal also comes complete with traditional Leatherman features like pliers, can opener, saw, awl, and removable pocket clip. In addition, it includes popular features like a hammer, replaceable wire cutters, diamond-coated file, and bit driver.
Coming in a black and yellow color scheme, Signal adds a new look and feel to Leatherman’s full-sized multi-tool line. “It was important to communicate that this was the first Leatherman of its kind. The rugged, nature oriented design was a focus during our research,” said Kenny Lohr, Industrial Designer. “Leatherman strives to be authentic, and we weren’t going to let Signal fall short.”

I disagree with you about the term “Survivalist”. Look at the shows on TV that deal with survival…it’s mainly outdoors in the woods. Now if it was called “Prepper”, that would be a different story
-
the oncoming storm says:
aye, a survivalist is someone who studies and practices outdoor/urban survival skills. what you’re thinking of is not even a prepper but a “doomsday” prepper. anyone who stocks up supplies for a disaster, whether manmade or natural, is classified as a prepper. the other is someone who stocks up supplies as well as weapons and ammunition, specifically for the “world without law” style collapse of civilization.

If it does not get rust, I’ll take it.For the survivalist part… It’s enough to watch the world news to see that it’s good to get some tools for the future.

Simon Berry says:
Oh this looks like a very nice little package. I think that I might have to see what the Easter Bunny brings for my Birthday in March to see if I can upgrade my Wave with the broken bits on it to this. Looks very nice with the yellow and black colours and the pocket clip is a great thought!

-
Dustin Coulter says:
I absolutely love the Survival direction you guys are engineering. Sure beats the competition
I have used SOG, Gerber, and Leatherman. I always end up using my leatherman that continually gives me the best performance out of any multi-tool. Thank you guys! I love Oregon and absolutely love Leatherman! -
David Ferguson says:
Now if there was a way to put a flint with a striker then you would have something
-
Marino Maldonado says:
I see this tool very useful, simple but with very utility tools. The only thing that I see is that you could put an blade exchanger underside a saw, that will maintain the simplicity but expands the functionality in a great way. I would like to know the chance I have to have one with this customization from factory or if I can do it by my self. I really like that tool but the only one that have one is the surge that is to heavy to carry all the time. Thank you for all the tools you make that make our life and jobs more simples.

Michael Marcucci says:
looks good but I do not see scissors or a sheath. I do not trust carbineer clips to keep a tool on me.
-
Looks good but dose it have a sheath? I don’t trust that carabineer clip to keep it on my person. I also do not see scissors like on my wave.

Ryan says:
Hopefully the sheath is better than the one that comes with the Surge
-
Ian says:
Looks wonderful. I can’t wait to try it out. Love you guys/gals!
-
Ted Briggs says:
Wow – a great idea, and it appears to be well executed. My initial thought is to offer it in a high visibility color scheme as well – perhaps with the handle/case safety orange. Small outdoor tools are easily misplaced with neutral (black, gray) or background (brown, green) colors.

Jay says:
Can’t believe they went with yellow and not high-vis orange.
-
Alex says:
Well, i was Waiting for something like that, i think its based on a MUT and that mean a excelent tool.
-
Cristian Porter says:
When can I buy this?
-
Alex says:
Please provide an option for a plain edge blade! At least do the same thing you did with the Skeletool and have different versions.
-
Nick says:
Ditto the plain edge request. Also, can the internal tools (awl, can opener, and bit driver) be deployed when the tool is closed, or does the position of the hammer prevent that?
-
Jason says:
SkeleMUT…YES!!!Pocket clip??
-
-
Freeman says:
Very nice. I’m going to get one for sure. I’d love to see it come with a Paracord case, but if not I’ll make one.
-
Ralph says:
Or if you go for a combi blade put the serrated edge at the tip end of the blade. Then when you are working wood, the PE is near the body of the knife and your hand and therefore makes it much more usable for bushcraft activities
-
‘BUSHCRAFT TOOL’ would be a better name for the new Leatherman.
-
J says:
Looks great, i enjoy the whistle and flint idea. i especially like that your heard your community. But in my opinion, it’d be so much better with scissors as it’s a major first aid tool: to cut clothes, or bandages. One of my favorite tools. Also i don’t get the semi serrated blade, a plain edge is better for wood craft. Plus there is already a saw, which would do the job on a any kind of strap or rope. Finally, if you want to make it a survival tool, a flat Phillips screwdriver would be better than driver bits as it allows to pry.
-
Lagrandeimage says:
How much will it weight?
-
Chris says:
I’m currently looking for a new leatherman. Loved the look of the MUT and the carbineer is awesome. But no can opener. The SIGNAL looks perfect to take out to the field. 2 improvements that would make it perfect.. Scissors and no plastic. Will the plastic survive 25 years? Change these things and I’d be happy to pay an extra £100. Or put an carbineer on a charge!!!
-
sam says:
I would prefer a metal structure too but I think that the glass filled nylon material will become a welcomed trade off with the lower weight. Similar plastics are used in quality knives with up to lifetime warranties so I do not think there will be any issue lasting many years – and if not – the 25 year warranty should cover you.

D.E. Mejia says:
This knife is awesome. but i feel like you could have included a integrated or bubble compass on it (nothing that makes it look ugly tho cause this is a beautiful design)… also maybe a small LED light somewhere.. I know crazy ideas but those are things i def would enjoy seeing.
-
Personally, I would not want to see a light. I hate it when low powered or low quality LED lights are thrown into tools. To get a decent brightness, they’d have to throw a AAA into it – making it bigger and heavier – less pocketable. Lights do not last as long as mechanical tools either so it could die on you halfway through the tools life and be worthless added baggage. Their warranty is 10 years on lights and 25 on tools btw.A quality bubble compass would be nice…

Looks cool.”Survivalist” carries with it the negative connotation of someone who is preparing for the end of civilization. I think you’re aiming this tool more at people who hike, camp, fish, hunt and want to be prepared for things to go wrong.
