Marking a new chapter for the American brand Leatherman, the first multitool engineered specifically for survival scenarios and outdoor pursuits is the Signal model. Outfitted with 19 essential tools, it features a blade that enables one-handed deployment, independent of unfolding the pliers. Its design integrates vital accessories for wilderness use, including a flint for fire starting, a signal whistle for emergencies, and a diamond-coated sharpener to maintain blade performance.
Equipped with a socket for interchangeable bits, the tool incorporates a locking mechanism for all tools to provide enhanced operator safety. The Signal expertly blends the versatility expected from a multi-purpose EDC tool with features precisely tailored for demanding outdoor environments. Offered as a limited edition, this model is backed by a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty.
The blade is crafted from 420HC stainless steel, heat-treated to achieve a hardness of 55–59 HRC. Renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, impressive fracture toughness, and ease of sharpening, this material offers reliable performance in the field. All other tools are constructed from premium stainless steel and feature a black oxide finish, which imparts a matte look to the steel, reduces glare, and ensures essential corrosion protection.
The multitool’s handle is constructed from 420 stainless steel, finished with a Cerakote coating in Guava color. This specialized finish is recognized for its resistance to impacts, chipping, and abrasion, delivering robust protection for the steel in tough environments.
