6 Father's Day Gift Ideas for His Everyday Carry

Father's Day is fast approaching on June 16th, which means just a few more weeks to find the best gifts for the man who deserves nothing but the best. We've got you covered—finding the perfect gift is just a few clicks away. In this guide you'll find a great selection of practical, useful, and downright awesome gear for your dad, thanks to some of our favorite brands for and to EDC.


Benchmade 318-2 Carbon Fiber Proper

When Benchmade launched the original 319 Proper, they changed game for modern gent's knives. The brand's first take on the classic slip joint folder was a non-locking folding knife with a ton of character, crafted by one of the best blade makers in the USA. But for the best Dad, Benchmade have made something even better. The new premium 318-2 is a refinement of the original Proper, upgrading everything from the steel (bumping up the original S30V steel to the more robust and edge-retaining S90V) to carbon fiber for the handles. Flat dark earth PVD-coated liners round out the “modern classic” look, giving the 318-2 Proper the absolute best of both worlds in fit, finish, and design.

Leatherman FREE P4

Designed to be an overhaul and evolution of Leatherman's iconic EDC multi-tools, the FREE series comes with functionality, durability, and a thoughtful new approach to utility that's never been seen before. The new P-series tools re-imagine how Dad can use his everyday multi-tool, giving him a versatility he may have never known he was missing. Thanks to the magic of magnets and new locking mechanisms, the P-series multi-tools offer the timeless and reliable functions he's used to—from the classic pliers at the pivot to tools that deploy from the handles—in a futuristic, usability-driven design.

Dango Wallets and Belts

A versatile wallet and a solid belt are staples for any dad, and few brands make both at the standard that Dango has for their handmade, US-built products. Dango has an impressive wallet lineup to say the least, from their flagship D01 Dapper metal-and-leather wallet, to the outdoor-oriented T01 Tactical, to their latest M1 Maverick with its versatile, vertical-oriented design. And when Dad has these robust wallets in his pocket, he needs an equally-tough belt, which Dango delivers in a two-part design that integrates Italian vegetable-tanned leather and an aluminum buckle built with a discreet stash compartment. Whether he needs the highest quality gear or looking to add even more functionality to his EDC, Dango has him covered. Everyday Carry readers can save 10% off of Dango's entire store with our exclusive promo code "dad10" at checkout, good through Father's Day, June 16th via the link below.

Case Knives

When it comes to traditional gentleman's folders, Case is both a pioneer and an authority, making classic knives that Dad may remember from his youth while continuing to innovate with modern knives he'd still use today. Two of their latest and greatest are the Barlow and Kickstart TrapperLock, taking inspiration from the past with a keen eye on modern materials and construction. The Barlow brings back a vintage 1800s classic folder complete with its iconic oversized pocket end bolster and beautiful bone handle in both single- and two-bladed versions. The Kickstart TrapperLock takes a classic folding clip blade into 2019 with the addition of assisted, one-handed opening via a thumb stud and a liner lock for secure slicing. Gift Dad a new knife from Case at the link below and receive free shipping on orders over $75.

Orbitkey x EverydayCarry.com Nylon Key Organizer

The Orbitkey key organizer takes something as complex as a jangled mess of keys—something dad may have built over time—and simplifies it into one sleek and silent package with an impressively simple design. A single post holds 2-7 keys stacked together, held in place by Orbitkey's signature stainless steel locking mechanism. Once set, Dad can simply swivel keys out or tuck them back into place—smoothly, silently, and consistently. A flexible band loops around the stack of keys to provide structure and protection in a comfortable-to-carry enclosure that won't scratch whatever else is in his pockets. Finally, an included and removable D-ring lets him attach the Orbitkey to a split ring for a full keychain setup or paired with his car key fob. Pick up this limited edition collaboration while you still can and receive free shipping on orders over $30.
