Leatherman is giving its customers an opportunity to get their hands on a piece of the brand's history with the release of limited edition tools from the its past through a once-a-year From The Vault event, which begins on March 31. This three day event gives Leatherman devotees access to rare and limited edition knives and multitools.

Here’s how it works. On each day of the event the company will drop limited edition rare tools at precisely 9 a.m. PST (12 pm EST). Some of the tools will be available on a first-come, first-served basis while supply lasts. For others, customers will have to enter a lottery during the open window period. Lottery winners will be selected on April 3. 

Leatherman says its “Vault” will only be open for those three days, after which it will close and these special edition tools won’t be available again, so you need to act fast if you want to add one of these EDCs or knives to your collection.

The first set of product releases, which are available on March 31, include the following:

Malloy Special (first come, first serve): This compact fixed blade knife was designed and built with input from California filmmakers, surfers, and adventurers, the Malloy Brothers. It features a super sharp and durable MagnaCut blade and striking white G-10 handle. 

The Darkside (lottery only): This EDC mult-tool features 21 functions and a sleek all black look. Among the unique features on this EDC are a ball point pen, carbide scribe tool, diamond coated file and set of tweezers.

Europe 75 (lottery only): Based on Tim and Chau Leatherman’s journey through Europe in the 70s, this lightweight multi-tool has the essentials for daily tasks and quick fixes, including a blade, corkscrew, bottle and can openers, and a screwdriver. 

Mr. Crunch (lottery only): Taken from one of Leatherman’s original designs, Mr. Crunch features double-pliers, which consists of a pair of blunt nosed pliers that convert into a set of needle nosed pliers. Mr. Crunch also comes with a full contingent of other functions, such as a blade, file, scissors, and screwdriver.
