What makes the Sandstorm edition different from the standard Signal?

The Sandstorm edition features a Cerakote coating on the blade and saw in a multi-tone camo pattern, glow-in-the-dark accents on the sharpener and ferro rod, and a matching nylon sheath with bronze stitching. It's a limited release with exclusive design details while maintaining the same functional tool set as the original Signal.

Does this include everything I need to start a fire with the ferro rod?

Yes. The Signal includes both a ferro rod and a dedicated striker built into the tool body, so you have both components needed to generate sparks. You'll still need dry tinder to catch the sparks and build a fire.

How does Cerakote improve the blade?

Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that increases corrosion resistance and surface hardness, helping the blade withstand moisture, saltwater, and abrasive use better than uncoated steel. It also reduces glare and adds a distinctive finish.

Will the glow accents stay visible all night?

Glow-in-the-dark materials need light exposure to charge and gradually fade over time. The accents on the sharpener and ferro rod will be most visible in the first hour after dark and help you locate the tool quickly when you need it, but they won't glow continuously through the night without recharging.

Leatherman Signal Multi-Tool in Limited Sandstorm Finish

Most outdoor multi-tools pack in pliers and screwdrivers that make sense in a garage but add weight you'll resent on mile eight. The Signal swaps those for tools that actually matter when you're away from infrastructure: a ferro rod system that works in wet conditions, a whistle that carries farther than your voice, and a sharpener so you're not dulling your blade on a river stone. This Sandstorm edition adds Cerakote protection where moisture and abrasion hit hardest, plus glow accents that let you grab the right tool when your headlamp dies. It's for people who use their multi-tool in situations where the right function at the right moment actually matters, not just for opening boxes.

Good gift when

Backpackers who travel light and need multi-function tools
Hunters and anglers who want fire-starting capability on hand
Emergency preparedness kits that prioritize durability
Outdoor guides and instructors who work in low-light conditions

Skip it if This is a limited release, so if you're hoping to replace it years from now with an identical model, you'll be out of luck. It's also heavier and bulkier than a basic knife, so if you're counting ounces or prefer single-purpose tools, a dedicated blade will serve you better.

No sizing to guess

Limited-edition finish makes it distinctive, but the recipient should know basic multi-tool use.

The details

This version of Leatherman's outdoor multi-tool arrives in a limited-run finish that adds visibility and durability to an already field-tested design. The blade and saw wear a Cerakote coating in a multi-tone camouflage pattern that resists corrosion and wear. The sharpener and ferro rod both carry glow-in-the-dark accents, so you can find them in low light without fumbling through your pack.

The Signal line was designed for backcountry use, and this edition keeps all the original capability. You get fire-starting tools, a built-in whistle, and cutting edges that handle camp tasks from clearing brush to preparing food. The ferro rod striker is built into the tool body, so you're never left trying to scrape sparks with a pocket knife spine that wasn't made for it.

The included nylon sheath features bronze stitching that matches the Sandstorm colorway and keeps the tool secure on your belt or pack strap. The finish is exclusive to this release, so once inventory clears, it's gone. Everything that made the Signal a capable field tool remains unchanged—this edition simply gives it better visibility after dark and a tougher surface coating where you need it most.
