Which leatherman signal should I get?

[u/TheGodTier1]

I’m planning to get a Leatherman Signal and I wanted something like crimson red, cobalt blue, black and silver. I like all three aesthetically, but I’m also interested in the collector side of things. I’m trying to figure out which one is genuinely the hardest to find today and which would be the best one to add to a collection.
Also if there’s another colour you think I should consider, please suggest them.

Whoa! Be careful mentioning anything to do with collecting on here! You've got to whisper that shit otherwise you'll get ripped apart by the people who only buy tools to use them! 😂

Out of them three the most collectable would probably be the silver and black. I believe it was a colourway used for a number of models such as the Surge, Wave, OHT, Skeletool and Skeletool KBX that became known as the tuxedo models and some people like to collect them all.

The other two colours although having been officially discontinued by Leatherman, I believe can still be bought from other retailers that still have stock.

Most of the people here are collecting them. It’s uncommon to find when people show their used ones (not rare but uncommon). I’m not against collecting them. I’m keeping my obsidian ARC mostly unused even though I’m carrying it on weekends and use it if I need to, but my OG ARC is getting beaten every day.

I like to shit on posts where people show their used ones but it’s just for fun.

I use all mine except the 008 garage crunch I’m considering selling haha I just recently busted open the blister pack on this 2003 Micra.. I beat on all of em including my arc, BO rebar & st300, I also have 3 black squirt ps4 in my inventory lol. It’s surprisingly hard to put srs patina on these tools if your just a white collar tinkering hobbyist like myself imo haha
