See the Signal in action
Watch the ferro rod, hammer and outside tools at work.
Ready for whatever the trail brings
Start a fire, even when it's damp
A ferrocerium rod is built into the handle. Strike it with a steel edge and it throws hot sparks onto dry tinder, even in wind or after rain, when matches and lighters fail.
It's a camp-craft essential that never runs out of fuel.
A hammer for tent pegs
The textured hammer surface on the handle knocks in tent pegs, taps stuck parts free and straightens bent fittings, so you don't need to hunt for a rock at camp.
A whistle to be heard, a sharpener to stay sharp
The emergency whistle carries much further than a shout if you're separated from your group on a trek.
A diamond-coated sharpener is built in too, so you can touch up both the straight and serrated edges of the blade on the go.
Clip it to your pack, or carry it in your pocket
The built-in carabiner clips the Signal to a backpack strap or belt loop. It doubles as a bottle opener and has two box wrenches (1/4" and 3/16") cut into it.
A removable pocket clip comes in the box for everyday pocket carry. Every tool except the plier head locks open, and Leatherman backs it with a 25-year limited warranty.

We manage the claim
We coordinate the repair or replacement with Leatherman's India distributor and keep you updated until it's back with you.
The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. Normal wear (including wear on the finish and on the ferro rod, which gets used up over time), misuse, and lost or stolen tools are not covered. Keep your LightMen invoice, as it's your proof of purchase.
Keep it working like new
Clean
Rinse in warm, soapy water after a muddy trip, then dry it fully with the tools open.
Oil
Put a drop of light oil on each pivot and work the tools open and shut a few times.
Ferro rod
Keep it dry when stored. If it has a dark coating when new, scrape it off with a few strokes before first use.
Sharpen
420HC sharpens easily. Use the built-in diamond sharpener on the trail, and a stone at home.
Questions customers ask us
How do I start a fire with the ferro rod?
Prepare a small pile of dry tinder such as cotton, dry grass or paper. Hold the ferro rod close to it and scrape firmly along the rod with a steel edge. The hot sparks land on the tinder and light it. It takes a little practice, and it works even when wet.
Does it come with a pocket clip?
Yes. A removable pocket clip comes in the box. The built-in carabiner gives you a second way to carry it, on a pack strap or belt loop.
Does it come with a sheath?
No, the sheath is sold separately. Our nylon sheath (with or without pockets), Heritage leather sheath and Ainsworth leather sheath all fit it in size Large.
Should I choose the Signal or the Wave+?
Choose the Signal if you trek, camp or travel outdoors: it adds a fire starter, hammer, whistle and sharpener, and it's lighter. Choose the Wave+ for everyday and home use if you want scissors, files and a small bit driver.
Will more bits fit?
Yes. The large bit driver takes Leatherman bits, and the 1/4" hex drive takes standard hex bits. Add the Bit Kit, Bit Extender or Ratchet Driver.
Can I take it on a flight?
Not in your cabin bag, because it has a blade. Pack it in checked luggage.
Can I get it engraved?
Yes, laser engraving is free on Leatherman tools. Add a name, date, message or company logo. It makes a great gift for anyone who loves the outdoors. See examples of our engraving.
