For starters, what can this multi-tool do?

• It comes with a CRAZY loud whistle. Lost in the woods? No cell reception? Trying to be found? That whistle will be your best friend
• Fire starter (yep – seeing is believing. Check out the video below)
• Pliers
• Saw
• Awl
• Removable pocket clip
• Knice blade with serrated edge
• Can opener
• Bit driver
• Wire cutters (they're replaceable)
• Hammer (yep, we said it. A hammer!)
• Diamond coated knife sharpener

“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 people at Leatherman released the statements above and we wanted to include them because it shows exactly what they had in mind when creating this multi-tool and they spared no expense on making this thing incredible.

We decided to include a video tutorial on all the uses of this new tool. Check out the spark she makes at 1:58 – this would take a HUGE amount of work off a survivalist trying to make a fire in a pinch.

Isn't this amazing? Did diamond coated knife sharpener will come in handy when you're out in the wilderness and you notice your blade dulling. In the past when this has happened, we didn't have many options for sharpening out tools. So it's great to see they thought ahead and included this into the multi-tool. So many things you can remove from your bug-out-bag if you buy this thing. And it barely takes up any space!
