I've used the saw a few times on the signal and it's functional.for my uses it's a welcomed additional tool. In addition I don't think the signal when in 'screwdriver' position is as comfortable as the skele, the pliers and handles are floppy compared to the skele in this position #Leatherman skeletool vs skeleton cx driverWith the signal and most other MT's you have to open the tool and then open the bit driver then close the tool. When you are done, simply close the tool and it's ready to go back in your pocket. Open the skele to desired position and bit driver is revealed and ready to go. In my use the skeletool bit driver became second nature. The pocket clip location is strange to me, almost seems like it's designed to go in the left pocket. I took the plastic bits out the day I got my signal and noticed the issue you are talking about it not closing right some of the time. Some good points to consider IMHO although some people might say 2.5 oz is noticeably heavier. I don't think that you will be disappointed. I have another one on the way which will stay "as is". And that is what I did to my "Urban version". The Signal blade had a slight off-centre cut to accommodate the awl.įor the rest of the tool, the saw and Wave file are interchangeable. Obi added a Wave PE blade, which I also tried and found it rubbing against the awl. It is a stunning looking blade, but it does not work well in my Signal. Their blade is a little thinner and it rubs against the awl. I also tried the Texas Tool Crafters Damascus blade, but that is not a perfect fit. I too would love a PE blade in it, the one in there is OK. I use ceramic sticks and a leather strop and get it razor sharp. I use mine daily for lunch preparations and it only needs a touch up once a month or so. The blade stays pretty sharp for a long time. There was also another MT.O challenge in January and quite a few members joined in. In my last post for that month I add my view and opinion on it. Have a read at my first challenge I did back in November.
