Leatherman Signal® 19-Tool Outdoor Multitool
Description
Leatherman Signal® 19-Tool Outdoor Multitool
The Leatherman Signal® is a versatile outdoor multitool developed for camping, hiking, backcountry travel, emergency preparedness and off-grid adventures. It combines 19 practical tools with dedicated outdoor features, including a ferrocerium fire-starting rod, safety whistle, hammer surface and diamond-coated knife sharpener.
The Signal includes needlenose and regular pliers, premium replaceable wire cutters, a 420HC combination blade, saw, awl, interchangeable bit driver, box wrenches and openers. Its outdoor-oriented design gives users the tools required for equipment repairs, camp setup, fire preparation and everyday maintenance in one compact package.
At only 11.43 cm when closed and approximately 213 g in weight, the Signal fits comfortably in a backpack, equipment pouch or pocket. The removable pocket clip, integrated carabiner and locking implements provide several secure and convenient carrying options.
Important information regarding the sheath: Package contents may vary depending on the production batch. Earlier versions of the Leatherman Signal were supplied with a nylon sheath, while newer production versions are supplied without one. The product article number has not changed between these versions. While older stock remains available, a nylon sheath may therefore be included. Once this stock is exhausted, a compatible sheath must be purchased separately.

Equipped for Outdoor Adventure
The Signal is designed specifically for users travelling beyond the convenience of a workshop or home tool kit. Its combination of standard repair tools and dedicated outdoor features makes it suitable for setting up camp, maintaining equipment, preparing kindling and dealing with unexpected situations in remote environments.
The ferrocerium rod can generate sparks for fire-starting preparation, while the safety whistle provides an audible signalling option in an emergency. The integrated hammer surface can assist with tasks such as driving suitable tent stakes into the ground.
420HC Combination Blade
The Signal includes a locking 420HC stainless-steel combination blade with both plain and serrated cutting sections. The plain edge is suitable for general slicing and controlled cutting, while the serrated section helps cut rope, webbing, cord and other fibrous materials.
The blade is accessible from the outside and can be opened with one hand using the thumb hole. Once fully opened, it locks securely into position.
Integrated Diamond-Coated Sharpener
A removable diamond-coated sharpener is built into the Signal, allowing the knife blade to be touched up while away from conventional sharpening equipment. This is particularly useful during longer outdoor trips where maintaining a functional cutting edge may be important.
Ferrocerium Fire-Starting Rod
The removable ferrocerium rod produces sparks when scraped with a suitable hard edge. It provides an emergency or backup ignition source for appropriately prepared dry tinder.
The ferrocerium rod is a supplementary fire-starting tool and should not replace waterproof matches, a lighter or other primary ignition equipment. Always follow local fire restrictions and use it only in safe, controlled conditions.
Hammer and Camp Tools
The integrated hammer surface adds practical functionality for camping and outdoor work. It can assist with driving suitable tent pegs and performing other light-impact tasks within the intended limits of the multitool.
The Signal also includes a wood saw, awl with thread loop, can opener and bottle opener, giving it a useful combination of camp and maintenance tools.
Replaceable Wire Cutters
The plier head includes premium replaceable wire cutters and hard-wire cutters. If the cutting inserts become worn or damaged, they can be replaced without replacing the entire multitool.
This serviceable design helps extend the useful working life of the Signal when it is regularly used for equipment repair, fencing, wire or mechanical tasks.
Interchangeable Bit Driver
The Signal includes a Leatherman-compatible bit driver for common fastening tasks. The reversible included bit provides Phillips and flat screwdriver options, while additional compatible Leatherman flat bits are available separately.
Included Bit
- Phillips #1–2 and 3/16 in flat screwdriver bit
Included Outdoor Accessories
- Safety whistle
- Ferrocerium fire-starting rod

Convenient Carry Options
The Signal features a removable pocket clip for securing the multitool to a pocket or suitable gear edge. Its integrated carabiner can also be used to attach the closed tool to an appropriate equipment loop.
The carabiner is intended for carrying equipment only and must not be used for climbing, fall protection or supporting body weight.
