Leatherman Darkside

The EDC space is like an incubator of design. Taking elements of functionality and finding new ways to approach them has been a method to continuously ignite intrigue within the market. Take, for instance, Leatherman’s Darkside. As the name implies, this multi-tool is covered in a matte black PVD, with a light flourish of neon blue around the product’s edge. While this may not seem revolutionary, its construction is.

PVD is known to be a rugged, scratch-resistant coating. The Darkside is composed of various tools within its 4-inch real estate: knives, a file, various screwdrivers, and even a pen. This meeting of form and functionality is proof that good design can update even the most basic tools – or, well, 23 of them, if you’re counting.

The Darkside is a limited release of only 500 units. You can get yours now for $250.

While we’re well aware that almost every single new “feature-packed” iPhone release is just a clever re-imagining of something Android users had years ago, we remain loyal to the brand because of the simplicity, streamlined ecosystem, usability and overall style. But we’ll also be the first to admit that we loathe the upgrade pricing structure. Or at least we used to before Boost Infinite. Boost Infinite hooks us all up with unlimited talk, text and data, along with the latest iPhone every year for only $60/month with Boost Infinite Access for iPhone plan. Yes, you read that correctly. Year, after year, after year, Boost Infinite will hook you up with the latest and greatest with this incredible offer and one low monthly price when you sign up.
