Maintaining the classic feel of leather on a wallet and how it patinas over time, the Ridge Leather Wallet substitutes its aluminum, titanium, or carbon fiber outer plates with full-grain leather for the first time. Available in two colors, Tobacco Brown and Midnight Black, the new leather-wrapped outer plates have been oil-waxed for the perfect sheen and built to patina—just like your dad’s favorite wallet.

Gerber Dual-Force
The butterfly opening Dual-Force takes its inspiration and aesthetic from the Center-Drive that came before it, while introducing a new plier design not yet seen in modern multi-tools. This is where it gets its name—the pliers operate with a 2-position slip-lock design and larger teeth for better leverage, giving it twice the jaw strength and grip force and even better control. Pair this with a layered jaw construction, and the Dual-Force is a serious contender for an actual dedicated pair of pliers. Your dad might have his trusty pair of dedicated pliers somewhere in his garage, but now he can make it a part of his EDC.
Gerber DoubleDown
For the dad who loves the great outdoors, the Gerber DoubleDown is a great gift. One look at the foldable machete clues you on its design heritage as a butterfly knife. The mechanism allows Gerber to make a sizeable outdoors knife take up less space than a traditional folding knife had it employed a more standard full-tang design. Safety is at the heart of the knife’s design, with a unique quad lock system that requires all four locks to be engaged for its twin handles to move. There’s even a built-in safety detent that stops the blade as you close it, giving you time to get your fingers out of the way of the edge as it moves. The DoubleDown can transition between being a knife, a machete, and a hatchet all in one tool, eliminating the need to pack all three when your dad heads out on the trail.
Gerber Custom Fastball
The Gerber Custom Fastball offers made-in-the-USA EDC quality for a premium addition to dad’s collection. It’s a particularly great option for Father’s Day because you can customize it to make it uniquely dad’s own. The Fastball features a 3” S30V blade with a flipper opening for easy one-handed operation. Putting the knife to use is an effortless experience thanks to its smooth one-handed flipper deployment made easy with B.O.S.S. Tech ball bearings in the pivot and a precision detent that lets you “lightswitch” the blade open and closed at a whim. If you opt for a custom knife, you can choose between 14 different handle colors or even swap to carbon fiber or copper handles if the aluminum handles don’t suit dad’s preference. And there’s an extensive library of engravable illustrations to choose from for that finishing touch.
Gerber Lockdown Pry
If you’ve ever seen your dad try to use a knife blade as a pry tool, this is his gift. The Lockdown Pry sports a 3.87″ length while closed and a 2.5″ plain-edge main blade that locks into place with a secure frame lock. It features fix additional tools, including a chisel, file, scissors, and even a dedicated exchangeable #11 craft utility blade that lets you do precise cutting tasks without dulling the main blade for frequent use. As its name suggests, the Lockdown Pry features a pry bar built right into the multi-tool handle, giving dad convenient access to its primary functionality while letting him carry the compact package with ease.
Gerber Custom Savvy
Gerber’s new Savvy knife is as sleek as its name, with a slim profile packed with premium features. It’s designed as an ambidextrous, one-handed pocketknife with an extra-smooth deployment and part of Gerber’s made in the USA line built with care in small batches, making it a special gift for dad. The Savvy’s larger 3.5” blade comes in a premium 20CV blade steel, best known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, in a wharncliffe blade shape that allows precise cuts. A pivot lock with anti-rotation washers provides secure blade support and a frictionless deployment through a thumb stud. Its handles come in aluminum or carbon fiber scales, or you can go full custom materials, colors, and laser marks for dad using Gerber’s Custom shop. Last but not least, a textured pocket clip and lanyard hole let dad carry this classic knife with modern features according to his preference.

EDC K-USB Flashlight
Many people associate summer with beaches and pools, but a surprising amount of activities happen at night. Dad can always use a good flashlight, whether he roasts marshmallows around the bonfire or looks for that item he dropped in the yard. While the flash on a smartphone is nice to have in a pinch, a strong, tough light that can take a beating is even better.
The K-USB flashlight is a simple flashlight that does one thing and does it well. The Cree XP-G3 LED that powers it has a brightness of 150 lumens which can run for about 1.5 hours straight. He can use any standard USB-C cable from the rest of his devices when it’s time to charge.
It features a durable aluminum body complete with IP54 dust and water resistance, so he won’t have to worry about it after jumping in the pool with it still in his pocket. The flashlight is also small enough to attach to his keyring without adding much bulk. It’s modestly priced, so don’t feel bad about treating yourself to a matching light while you’re at it. We won’t tell.
Norris Sneaker
Most people would prefer to spend their summers poolside in flip-flops, but a quality pair of sneakers is a practical must-have. Get dad out of his beat-up sneakers and into a fresh new pair with the 5.11 Norris Sneaker. It’s a low-key everyday sneaker that combines a low-key aesthetic with rugged tactical features in a way only 5.11 can do. It’s certified by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) for puncture resistance and the ability to protect against 1200 Newtons of force. Combine that with a rubber toe guard, and you can see how the shoe offers much more foot protection than your average sneaker.
The sneakers’ sole is Vibram Marbani which allows for better traction on slippery terrain. The entire footbed also has high-performance insoles that provide support without sacrificing comfort. The Norris is a comfortable sneaker that offers the kind of protection typical of work boots. If dad is always out working on something, this is a gift he’ll keep finding uses for every time he starts a new project.
Outpost Chrono Watch
There are few tools as loved as a good watch. Whether dad’s keeping track of the parking or timing the laundry, having an accurate watch is the gift that keeps on giving. If that sounds like something he’d love, look no further than the Outpost Chrono Watch. It’s a 44mm watch with grayed-out tactical styling save for a bright orange chronometer hand. Luminous hour markers and protruding start/stop pushers make this watch easy to use in low-light conditions. It’s also water-resistant up to 100 meters, so while that might not be enough for scuba divers, that’s more than enough for the average swim at the beach.
The durable stainless steel case combined with a mineral crystal means this watch will last for years. It also comes with a 22mm webbing band that he can swap out for whatever style or material he prefers. Whatever the day throws his way, this watch can handle it.
Ridge Short
If dad’s shorts can use an upgrade, then the Ridge Short may be the backup his wardrobe needs. These are the perfect shorts for any upcoming summer adventures. At first glance, the Ridge Short may look nondescript, but on closer inspection, you begin to notice clever design elements that make it ideal for summer. It uses Flex-Tac canvas with a Teflon coating to provide easy mobility while also protecting against dirt and stains.
The Ridge Short also has eight pockets to carry all the essentials discreetly. A hidden pocket inside the waistband fits a key or similarly sized item, while both front pockets feature special reinforcement for knife clips to prevent fraying. These are hard to pass on for a comfortable yet practical piece of clothing perfect for dad’s summer kit.
Flex Short Sleeve Polo
The polo shirt is a summer staple, but they are usually made for leisure, not adventure. That isn’t an issue for the Flex Short Sleeve Polo. It maintains the classic professional look any good polo should have while adding technical features that make it easier to wear on hot summer days. Everything about the polo has temperature regulation in mind. Side steam vents allow easy movement and increased breathability, while a moisture-wicking Enduro-Flex polyester weave helps keep dad cool. The polyester weave pulls moisture away from the body to the material’s surface, where sweat can evaporate. Then there’s the anti-odor finish which can be helpful in any situation, for his benefit and others’.
The Flex Short Sleeve Polo is the perfect gift for anyone looking to stay cool during the heat of the summer while still looking smart. It even has a dedicated pen guide in the chest pocket to complete the calm and collected look. Whether dad is commuting to the office or retired and adventuring, this polo would make a great addition to his closet.

]]>The post A Deejo Custom Knife Is the Unique Father’s Day Gift He’ll Want appeared first on Everyday Carry.
]]>
Customizing a knife for your dad starts with an easy online interface. Every option you select gets reflected onto a 3D rendering of the Deejo knife, letting you preview changes and your final design. There are five different ways to customize Dad’s knife, and the first choice to make is how large you want your customized knife to be. Depending on how you think Dad will carry or use this knife, you can choose from the three sizes available, labeled 15g, 27g, and 39g—corresponding to their weight—with each one measuring 7cm, 9cm, and 11cm when closed, respectively. These different sizes have you covered, from primary EDC blade to backup knife to letter opener for his desk.
Next, you choose between three finishes for the tough and corrosion-resistant 420 stainless steel used in the knife’s blade. A classic mirror finish makes for a flashier aesthetic, but you can also go for something more subdued with the grey and black titanium options. The finish extends beyond the blade and into the knife’s lightweight and skeletonized handle frame, which integrates the liner lock mechanism for when the knife is in use.
On the blade, Deejo gives you the option of etching a decorative “tattoo” design, letting you pick from over 50 options, from mandala and art deco patterns to topographic maps and nature-themed motifs. Finding one that aligns with Dad’s passions with so many designs readily available won’t be too difficult. Whether he’s into watches, hunting, or sailing, tattooing the blade with his favorite hobby will make this gift even more special. Most cover a substantial part of the blade and create a distinct aesthetic for the knife combined with your choice of finish.
The handle scales that protect the blade’s edge when retracted can also be customized to complement or contrast your previous finishes and marking choices. Here you have the option of different types of wood, including Juniper Wood, Ebony, Coral Wood, and others, or you can go with Composite Scales displaying Carbon Fiber weave or a polished Turtle Shell look.
You can also engrave Dad’s name or a short dedication onto the handle, making for a truly memorable gift. You can always play it safe and go with Father’s Day-themed engravings like “World’s Best Dad,” “We Love You Dad,” or something similar, or get creative and add a meaningful quote. Whichever way you decide to go, one thing is for sure: no one else will have a knife like the one you make.
When you’re all done with your choices, you can click a button to see how your design looks when the knife is closed and another to share your concept design on social media, giving your friends or even Dad a preview before you fully commit to your plan. It usually takes Deejo five business days minimum to build and ship the knife when you do. Every Deejo knife ships from France, so make sure to get your design finalized with enough time to allow Deejo to deliver your knife before Father’s Day, especially if you add options like a sheath or sharpener. With so many ways to customize this knife, there’s a Deejo design just right for Dad. Build one up now by checking out the link to MyDeejo below.

Customizing his knife is easy on the MyDeejo site.

Gerber Savvy
Gerber’s new Savvy knife is as sleek as its name, with a slim profile packed with premium features. It’s designed as an ambidextrous, one-handed pocketknife with an extra-smooth deployment and part of Gerber’s made in the USA line built with care in small batches, making it a special gift for dad.
The Savvy’s larger 3.5” blade comes in a premium 20CV blade steel, best known for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance, in an uncommon but versatile wharncliffe blade shape that allows precise cuts. A pivot lock with anti-rotation washers provides secure blade support and a frictionless deployment through a thumb stud. Its handles come in aluminum or carbon fiber scales, or you can go full custom materials, colors, and laser marks for dad using Gerber’s Custom shop.
Last but not least, a textured pocket clip and lanyard hole let dad carry this classic knife with modern features according to his preference.
SOG Terminus XR Damascus
The Terminus XR is one of SOG’s best everyday knives, and a new Damascus pattern for its blade is just the thing to add some flair to dad’s EDC. There’s plenty for dad to like on the Terminus XR, including a versatile 2.95” blade in a subtle clip point shape. He can deploy the blade in three ways: via the ambidextrous thumb studs, kicking out the blade via an exposed tab, and flicking the knife open by disengaging the super-strong and ambidextrous XR lock.
And when he’s done for the day, the Terminus’s blade folds into its G10 and carbon fiber handles, where a reversible clip also makes it easy for him to deep pocket carry the knife. As a special offer to EDC readers, you can get 25% off the Terminus XR Damascus with code EDCDAD22 through June 19th.
Kershaw Cargo
As its name suggests, the Kershaw Cargo is a knife built to carry and use for the long haul. Its simplicity is efficient, and extremely lightweight at 2.3 oz. Plus, with a 3.25” blade with an extended belly in hardworking D2 tool steel for all dad’s slicing needs. The knife is fully ambidextrous from its dual thumb studs for manual opening to its reversible clip and especially its mid-lock on the back of the handles. The handles themselves are glass-filled nylon reinforced with steel liners to handle dad’s heaviest tasks, with unique handle contouring, texturing, and chamfered edges for comfort even during hard use.
Work Sharp Ken Onion Edition Knife and Tool Sharpener
Every knife on this list eventually needs maintenance, as a well-maintained and sharp knife is a safe one. Give dad the best and easiest system with Work Sharp’s Ken Onion Edition Knife and Tool Sharpener. It can sharpen everything from a fine scalpel up to a lawnmower blade. Designed in collaboration with renowned knifemaker Ken Onion, this mechanical sharpener uses flexible abrasive belts and an angled holder that lets you select between 15 and 30 degrees to match your blade.
Aside from the design’s ease of use and flexibility, the Ken Onion Edition Knife and Tool Sharpener is handy if dad has special grind needs on his knives. He can also use the system on knives with full or partial serrations without too much fuss, especially when adding the Blade Grinding Attachment for extra control and surface area. The standard Ken Onion Edition comes with five belts ranging from an ultra-coarse 120 grit for reprofiling and fixing broken blades to a 6000 grit belt that lets him apply a mirror polish on his edges.
The James Brand Carter
Dad deserves no less than the most advanced (and arguably most handsome) knife from The James Brand: the Carter. It’s chock-full of EDC-friendly features, starting with its ideal 2.8“ drop point blade made of a highly corrosion-resistant VG-10 stainless steel. It’s supported by The James Brand’s ambidextrous slide lock for simple and secure operation, with an enlarged thumb disk for easy opening. 3D-machined G10 scales give the knife excellent grip and ergonomics, while a reversible deep carry clip and lanyard insert let him choose his favorite way to carry the knife.
The Carter comes with more options than ever to dial in the perfect style and size for dad, including options for handle color and material (G-10 and Micarta), the option for a partially serrated blade, and even a larger XL profile that bumps up the blade size to 3.3 inches.
CIVIVI Brazen C2023C
For the dads looking for a more tactical addition to their toolkit, CIVIVI’s new Brazen makes a strong point to be their next knife. Front and center is the Brazen’s striking 3.46” tanto blade in D2 steel, blacked out and stonewashed for a wicked profile. Dad can deploy the blade via dual thumb studs or the Brazen’s flipper tab, with a liner lock securing it in place. Equally stealthy black G-10 makes up the handles, with a reversible pocket clip and a lanyard slot built into the backspacer for dad to carry to his preference.
From June 1st to June 20th, CIVIVI is offering up to 25% discount on select knives, including the Brazen, and a special gift pack with a handkerchief, stickers, and a thank you note while supplies last.
Cold Steel Engage
Cold Steel’s new Engage brings exceptional materials and high-performance features to the table for the hardworking dad who needs an equally hard-working knife. The beefy knife comes with a sizable 3.5” blade in S35VN steel, a premium and well-rounded steel that’s as resilient as it is performant and easy to maintain.
Dad can deploy this clip point blade via ambidextrous thumb studs, secured during use by Cold Steel’s new slide-action Atlas lock. Pushing back on the lock at the top of the overbuilt G-10 handles lets the knife fold into a compact 4.69”, 6.6oz package. You can grab the Engage at a 25% discount with code EDCDAD22, valid from June 2nd to the 19th, giving you plenty of time to order it for Father’s Day.

He can also carry it three ways depending on his needs: as a briefcase, as a messenger, or as a backpack. (View on Amazon)
- Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise Canceling Headphones: One of the best gifts you can give your hardworking dad is some nice peace and quiet.

- AceBeam L19: Getting lost in the dark is a bad idea, especially true if your dad is out on a weekend adventure. Give the gift of extreme long range illumination with 2,200 lumens of power 1,300 meters of reach with AceBeam’s powerhouse rechargeable flashlight. (Buy)

Wiley X Sunglasses
Protection is an often underlooked aspect of preparedness, and when it comes to dad’s eyes, the right eye protection goes a long way. No matter what dad’s activity, from everyday errands to outdoor adventures and even extreme pursuits, Wiley X has a pair of sunglasses for him. They’re built from the ground up packed with technology, from ANSI-rated impact and ballistic protection, UV protection and polarization, and even facial seals for the ultimate in all-conditions safety. They have dozens of styles and colors for every dad’s preference, so find the perfect pair at the link below.
Kodiak Leather Buffalo Leather Dopp
If your dad is toting around a basic dopp kit to store his EDC travel toiletry essentials on the go, make sure to level up his gear by giving him one of Kodiak Leather’s Buffalo Dopps. It retains the classic styling of a traditional dopp kit, built from high quality top grain leather and features two large zippered pockets accented with premium brass hardware and sealed with YKK zippers. You also get an interior zipped pocket for extra organization. Each dopp kit is made from all-natural leather, and comes in your choice of three colors: Antique Brown, Dark Walnut, and Black, all of which will develop a handsome patina over time. You can save 15% on the Buffalo Leather Dopp or any combination of Kodiak Leather’s extensive line of bags, wallets, and leather goods as gifts this Father’s Day by using code Fathers15 today on checkout at the link below.
Dango EDC Trays
Dango also makes valet trays that will help your dad organize their EDC at home. The EDC Tray features DTEX pads that help keep gear in place when it’s not in use, and the different compartments allows placement of gear in dedicated spaces for easy access at a glance. There’s also a smaller side tray for saving desk space when loadouts aren’t too big, and each is precision CNC-machined for a luxury look that will accent any decor well at home.
Don’t forget, for a limited time during this holiday season, you can save up to 25% off the entire store in Dango’s biggest sale of the year starting May 26 and ending June 21 by using code FD25 on checkout at the link below.
Stanley Drinkware Collection
Stanley’s one of the oldest names when it comes drinkware that’s tough enough for outdoor adventures and workday commutes alike. Take the Stanley IceFlow Flip Straw Collection for example, which has a new leak-proof lid that features a built-in straw that’s way more convenient than similar designs out on the market because it actually seals. That means Dad can put it in his bag without having to worry about spills damaging his work gear. Plus, there’s a plethora of coffee mugs and lunch accessories that your dad might also like as a gift. There’s even beer-related cups like pints and steins that are great for keeping a cold one cold even when things start getting hot in the middle of summer.
Check out all that Stanley has to offer today at the link below.
The James Brand The Carter
If your dad is the classiest gentleman you know, consider gifting him a knife that’s got as much style as he does. The Carter from The James Brand features a solid drop-point blade with a versatile steel composition, an ergonomic handle with a reliable lock well-suited for heavy duty, and a low-profile clip that allows the knife to disappear in your dad’s pockets when he isn’t using the knife. It’s a knife that looks as good as it performs with a stylish, minimalist-friendly look that’s both understated and elegant. Check it out in the four available colorways today at the link below.
Bastion Bolt Action Pens
If your dad has never had a bolt-action pen before, he’ll likely appreciate the quality manufacturing and addictive mechanism of a Bastion Luxury Pen. It features a bolt-action design and a ballpoint refill that’s easy to find, and unlike a traditional disposable ballpoint pen the Bastion is available in premium materials. For example, they’re precision CNC-machined out of a single piece of titanium or SS304 stainless steel or T6 6061 Aluminum and they’re even available with a carbon fiber embellishment for an extra touch of class. You can buy one today as a gift at the link below.
OWC Envoy Pro Elektron
Whether your dad is working from home or is back in the office a few days a week, the OWC Envoy Pro Elektron SSD is a great solution for transporting and backing up his important files. It’s a compact and convenient package that’s waterproof, crushproof, and dustproof to boot. And with a USB-C 10Gbps interface built in, transferring those files from computer to computer and device to device can be simpler and faster than working with cloud solutions. It’s the perfect gift for a tech-savvy dad this season, so make sure to take a look at the available storage options at the link below.
Andar Wallet Collection
If your dad prefers leather wallets for the traditional feel and comfortable feel, make sure to check out the wallets that Andar has to offer. They are made out of high-quality full-grain leather and they have everything from standard billfolds to more minimalist designs with quality of life features like pull-tab access to payment cards, money clips, and card slots for extra storage. Take the Apollo wallet for example, which has a unique pull-tab mechanism that keeps up to three cards available at a moment’s notice, which is great for his primary payment, ID, and access cards. And for a limited time only you can pick up Andar’s wallets for your dad (or for yourself) at a 20% discount on Andar’s website by using code EDC20 on checkout at the link below.
Fenix E35 V3.0 Flashlight
Your father made a big impact on your life, and it’s only fitting that the EDC flashlight that you gift him for Father’s Day have massive output as well. But that doesn’t mean that he should have to carry something too bulky for everyday carry. Take the Fenix E35 V3.0 for example, it features a bright Luminus SST70 LED module that puts out a turbo high of 3000 lumens out the front for 1.1 hours thanks to its single 21700 battery, but at just 2.36oz unloaded and 4.65″ long it’s not too big and bulky for everyday carry. The USB-C rechargeability adds a lot to its practicality and convenience, and of course the IP68 rated A6061-T6 aluminum body means your dad can take this light anywhere and rely on it no matter where he finds himself.
First-time customers can also use promo code EDCNEWMEMBER to save 20% off on their purchase.
Deejo Knife
For the father who has everything, give him something that’s truly one of a kind with a customized Deejo knife. Deejo’s website allows you to customize every aspect of the knife from handle materials, blade finish, and decorative blade embellishments. Every option you select is previewed on a 3D rendering of the knife, letting you see what you’re ordering before you buy it to be sure you’re picking the best option for your father this holiday season. You can also engrave text on the handle to mark the knife as a cut above, a worthy gift for your father or dad in your life. A special name, a memorable quote, a date to remember–each of these just makes the knife that much more unique. And while each knife is custom, it generally only takes Deejo two business days to build and ship your dad’s gift either to you or to them, your choice. Check out all the options available now at the link below.
Dango A10 Adapt Modular Wallet
If your dad still carries around a bulky old wallet that’s falling apart at the seams, perhaps it’s time to upgrade his pockets with a crowd-favorite minimalist wallet. The Dango A10 Adapt wallet is precision CNC-machined out of metal like titanium or 6061 aerospace-grade aluminum, designed with versatility and modularity in mind. While it serves well as a minimalist card holder, it can take add-ons and accessories to add more functionality at a moment’s notice. This year, the Dango A10 is available in a couple new attractive colorways including crimson red, champagne gold, satin silver and jet black.
For a limited time during this holiday season, you can save up to 25% off the entire store in Dango’s biggest sale of the year starting May 26 and ending June 21 by using code FD25 on checkout at the link below.
Streamlight Wedge
You probably know Streamlight well for their tactical hard-use duty and EDC flashlights, but their new Wedge flashlight is built a little differently. It’s an ultra-compact, high-performance EDC light with a unique form factor that’s reminiscent of the handle on an everyday carry knife. It even comes with a deep-carry pocket clip on the side for discretion’s sake. And with a burst output of up to 1000 lumens for 35 seconds and USB-C recharging, this EDC powerhouse flashlight is miles ahead of your dad’s old incandescent lights, and way better than the tiny light on his phone as well. It’s a unique choice if you’re looking to up your dad’s flashlight game.

]]>The post Father's Day Essentials from Ridge appeared first on Everyday Carry.
]]>While the original Ridge Wallet is what put them on the map, The Ridge also offers many other products and goods on their site. They have lines for multi-tools, bags, phone cases, portable chargers, and other merchandise. Here are some suggestions, which you can get as a standalone gift or as an ensemble to cover all of Dad’s bases.
The Essential Kit
Foremost as a gift idea is The Essential Kit, a collection of everyday essentials centered around their landmark product, the Ridge Wallet. This minimalist wallet is tough yet super thin at only 6mm, and it’s also lightweight due to its use of aluminum, titanium, and even carbon fiber for its modular plate construction. An included elastic band creates an expandable capacity that can take up to 12-cards plus some cash, thanks to the included Money Clip Attachment. A finger notch provides easy access to your cards, which are protected from wireless theft by two aluminum RFID-blocking internal plates. In The Essential Kit, you have four choices for the wallet plates: Black, Gunmetal, Burnt Titanium, or Carbon Fiber.
The kit also includes a Leather Keychain with a quick-release metal clip, a write-anywhere Fisher Trekker Space Pen done up with Ridge markings, and an extra elastic band for the Ridge Wallet. The Essential Kit helps Dad cover the basics for daily carry—writing instrument, cash and cards, plus keys—in a stylish and sturdy package, making for a great Father’s Day gift.
The Summit Knife
This minimalist framelock knife sports an aesthetic that matches well with the original Ridge Wallet, and allows Dad to easily carry around a useful 2.75″ drop-point blade made from tough D2 steel. Much like their premium wallets, The Ridge lets you pick from two different high-end materials for the handle scales: tough Grade 5 titanium, or ultra lightweight carbon fiber. The stainless steel hardware and pocket clip keeps this knife sturdy and easily pocketable, ensuring Dad’s always ready for his EDC cutting tasks.
The Hook: Door Opener Multi-tool
A great idea for the new normal, this 4″ long tool is designed to help Dad navigate through his day-to-day activities, without ever having to touch a shared and potentially contaminated surface. Made of brass which has anti-microbial properties, its one-piece construction integrates a no-touch door opener and puller with a few EDC essentials: a stylus, a pry bar, a hex driver, and an always useful bottle opener. Keep Dad safe and equipped by letting him carry this handy tool on his key chain.
The Travel Kit – Weatherproof
Every man needs a way to stash his personal essentials when out travelling for work or pleasure. Something that’s robust enough to be tossed around in transit or squished into a packed weekender bag for a quick road trip. This Travel Kit uses a waterproof PVC tarpaulin shell plus waterproof linings to make sure that outside moisture doesn’t contaminate what’s kept inside, while keeping any messy spills that occur within from leaking out—something Dad may appreciate the next time he needs to pack for travel.
Remember to use the promo code DAD10 for 10% off all products on the Ridge website, helping you get the perfect package for this coming Father’s Day. Show Dad some love and appreciation by giving him some thoughtful and useful gifts this year.

Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen
If you’re looking to gift your dad a high-quality everyday carry pen that writes well while adding a touch of class to his EDC ensemble, look no further than Tactile Turn’s line of beautiful bolt-action writing implements. As the name implies, these pens feature a spring-loaded bolt-action mechanism for deploying the ink cartridge for writing. It’s a smooth, satisfying way of actuating the pen that your dad can fidget with all day. Each pen is available in three different lengths, and four premium body options: titanium, copper, bronze, and zirconium. To truly make a Tactile Turn Bolt Action Pen his own, you can opt for custom clip engraving and upgrades to the bolt to give your gift a personal flair. And with its American-made precision and lifetime warranty, your dad will be able to enjoy this pen for years to come.
Leatherman FREE T and K Series Multi-tools
If your father is the kind of guy who carries a multi-tool but wishes the one he carries has a better knife, a gift of either a Leatherman “T” or “K” series multi-tool is a great choice, especially now that they’re available in brand-new exciting colorways in 2020. All the tools deploy one-handed thanks to the FREE’s magnetic architecture and cam lock system, making them buttery smooth to open, locked in place while in use, and as easy to close up when you’re finished with your tasks. The T series features a more traditional tool design while the K series brings useful tools like a pair of spring-loaded scissors and screwdrivers to a large 420HC blade folding knife.
GRIP6 Workbelt
This Father’s Day, give your dad a gift of a new belt that’s built to last, like GRIP6’s line of Workbelts. They’re constructed from Mil-Spec nylon fiber woven to a tensile-strength rated to withstand up to 2000 pounds of force, and precision CNC-laser cut T6061 aerospace grade aluminum buckles that close securely while keeping things lightweight. The unique design of the buckle results in no holes and no flap, making it both comfortable and discreetly low-profile. The high strength of the belt also means your dad can mount tools, holsters, and other gear on it easily without it falling apart or collapsing on itself. The buckles and straps are all interchangeable as part of a system, letting your dad accessorize for the day based on the rest of what he’s wearing, and he can rely upon this belt for years to come with GRIP6’s unlimited lifetime warranty that will protect against any malfunction, accident, and even serious wear and tear. A gift of a GRIP6 Workbelt for your dad this Father’s Day is a gift for life. For a limited time, EDC readers can save 25% off all items at GRIP6 through June 4th with code EDCFATHER.
Customized Gerber Fastball
This Father’s Day, celebrate everything he’s done for you with a gift that’s truly one of a kind. Finding something like that might seem like a tall order, especially if you have a knife in mind, but Gerber makes the job easy by offering customization options for one of their most popular everyday carry knives. You can fully customize a Gerber Fastball— a high-performance, made-in-USA folding knife— just the way he’ll like it. He’ll appreciate a tool he can rely on every day, built in the USA with the right blade shape, handle materials, and design to suit his style and needs. Gerber also offers laser-marked personalization for some of their other crowd-favorite knives, so you’re sure to find something for Dad and his everyday carry.
Stanley CERAMIVAC 24oz Bottle
If your dad has been using the same old coffee travel mug for decades now, do him a favor and upgrade it to a Stanley CERAMIVAC Go Bottle. It features a unique double-wall construction with a ceramic finish over stainless steel for the 100% BPA free inner chamber, eliminating off-flavors from metal contact and operating much like a traditional ceramic mug. But unlike a traditional ceramic mug, this will keep liquids hot for 9 hours and cold for up to 50, and your dad can run around with it throughout the day without leaving a huge mess everywhere he goes (coffee stains are hard to clean up after all). For convenience, the stowaway carry loop allows for both easy access and storage on gear. The Go Bottle is available in three different capacities: 16, 24, and 36oz, and unlike other vacuum-insulated containers these are designed to be dishwasher safe. For a limited time you can save up to 25% off on Stanley’s site with no code needed, so pick up one (or more) of these bottles now while you have the chance.
Dango M-Series Wallet
Your dad probably wouldn’t splurge on a high quality wallet himself, but he sure would appreciate an upgrade from his bulky leather billfold if it were gifted to him. Dango Products makes EDC wallets that aren’t just practically bombproof, but they’re unique, stylish, and can do way more than hold his cash and cards. The M-Series Maverick Wallet is a great pick as it can also double as an ID badge holder for your dad to flex with at work. Its base is CNC-machined from lightweight but sturdy 6061 aluminum, and the rest of the wallet’s construction and assembly is made in the USA. There are several renditions of this wallet, which speak to the modularity of this system, and some even include a bifold level of capacity in its easily-carried form factor. All of these wallets are secure against RFID theft, and they hold between 8-16 standard sized payment, credit, and identification cards on a rail system that’s easily accessed. The Tactical and Spec Ops variants of the wallet include built in mult-tool functions as well, for added versatility.
For a limited time, you can save 20% off Dango Products’ entire store, so you can save on getting your dad a gift for Father’s Day and perhaps pick up some much-needed additions to your own EDC as well. Make sure to use code FD20 on checkout and buy your gifts today.
Work Sharp Benchstone Knife Sharpener
If your dad’s already got an impressive collection of knives, maybe instead of gifting him another knife, gift him a proper knife sharpener instead. The Work Sharp Benchstone system is one of the best gifts you can give him to ensure his knives get the maintenance and care they need. The bench stone system offers an easy way to leverage whetstones for sharpening, with three different grits that let you touch up a blade to a really keen edge and blade angle guides that make accomplishing that goal an easy task.
Thyrm PyroVault
Your dad might already have his favorite flip lighter for his personal use, but you can help him level it up with the Thyrm PyroVault. The Thyrm PyroVault features an extremely durable, heat-resistant polymer enclosure sized to accommodate inserts including the ubiquitous fluid-powered Zippo versions and most butane torch upgrades. Its aggressive grip surfaces and a spring-loaded latch make for easy and slightly addictive one-handed operation. And unlike a traditional flip lighter, the PyroVault’s o-ring seal helps to keep the elements out and it also minimizes fuel evaporation. Giving him this upgraded shell makes his lighter a much more worthy companion for his outdoor excursions that’s less likely to run out of fuel when you’re out in the field. The PyroVault also adds one of the most conspicuously absent features on a lighter: a pocket clip that’s also designed to attach to MOLLE/PALS webbing he might have on his tactical bags and gear. And with five different colorways available, you can pick the one that’s most suited for your dad.
Deep Blue Daynight PC Tritium Diver
You can give your dad a nice wristwatch for Father’s Day, but what use is it to him if it features a design that’s impractical and hard to read? The Deep Blue Daynight Tritium PC boasts excellent low-light visibility thanks to its use of 15 “always on” tritium gas tubes placed throughout the dial, hands, and bezel, which naturally glow in the dark for up to 25 years without needing to be charged unlike luminous paint you’d find even on most high-end watches that only glow for a few hours at best. The timepiece features a precision Swiss-made Ronda 515 quartz movement with date function that will keep on ticking for 45 months without a battery change while keeping accurate time down to -10/+20 seconds per month. The 45mm case offers a generous diameter for easy legibility, but because it’s made out of heavy-duty polycarbonate, it’s both lightweight and durable. This diver-rated watch with its uni-directional bezel is also for 200m of water resistance, and the sapphire crystal resists scratches from life’s bumps and scrapes, making this a great gift for a dad with an active lifestyle. And for a limited time, you can receive a FREE thermometer and compass with purchase AND save $100 on the price of this beautiful watch as a gift to your dad by using code EDC on checkout on Deep Blue‘s store page.
WESN Allman Knife
If your father is the type who wants a no-nonsense knife that doesn’t cheap out on the materials or the performance, the WESN Allman is for him. The Allman sports a unique modified clip-point blade with a stout profile that makes it a strong tool while keeping things discreet at 2.75” in length. The design offers a beefy straight edge for larger utility tasks, a fine belly for delicate slicing, and a strong tip for piercing through the toughest of objects when you need it. And because it’s made of premium S35VN steel, you can rely upon the hard blade on the Allman to maintain an edge through repeated daily use.
Pioneer Carry Wallet Collection
If you’re looking to move your dad away from the bulky traditional leather back pocket wallet he’s been carrying around for decades, giving him a gift of one of Pioneer Carry’s lightweight technical wallets is a great way to accomplish that goal. Their wallet line spans the gamut from ultra-minimalist cardholders to more-traditional billfold form factors that might be more friendly to a beginning EDCer. But all of the wallets feature lightweight 10XD super fabric construction blended into a well-stitched and seamless fine nylon ripstop that’s far more durable than leather but at a fraction of the bulk and heft. The technical fabric construction of these wallets also means they’re highly repellent against dirt and water, and your dad can even accidentally leave them in the wash without ruining them. For a limited time only, you can buy any two wallets from Pioneer Carry’s website and save 25% on your entire order using code EDCBUNDLE. Take this opportunity today to both treat yourself to a new EDC wallet, and get an excellent gift for your dad as well.
Dango EDC Tray
If your dad needs a place to put his EDC in order once he gets home after a long day of work, check out Dango’s EDC Tray. Precision-machined in the United States out of a solid piece of aluminum, the Dango EDC Tray features four separate holders that allow for easy separation between EDC essentials like wallets, keys, knives, and phones. For added durability, DTEX fabric pads can be added for an extra layer of protection, and the non-slip pads at the bottom of the tray help prevent against accidental bumps off a table in the middle of the night.
Like the M-Series wallets above, you can save 20% off the EDC Tray with code FD20 on checkout.
