Our Dad Day Gift Guide 2025

Some dads like fancy things, others still drive the Toyota pickup they bought in the 90s. Every time that thing breaks down, your mother prays it’ll be the end. But the old man always finds a way to bring it back to life. He’s the one you call when something’s loose, cracked, or in need of rewiring—happy to spend the afternoon reviving an old dishwasher in exchange for a couple cold ones.

ACE Atelier - The ultimate DIY sidekick. Your paternal repairman needs a time-tested, dependable tool, something he can dig out for any job thrown his way. The ACE Atelier is a tinkerer’s dream, named after a workshop and built for the fix-it station. Crafted with old-school quality and attention to detail, enough to impress the guy who swears “they don’t make ‘em like they used to.” Maybe he’ll even pass it down one day, once you’ve earned it.

And no, we don’t mean football. This one’s dedicated to the sport-shooting, bowhunting, wild-pursuit dads. Those more likely to know multiple turkey calls then remember to call you on your birthday. They tried to make a real man out of you, taught you how to track, aim, and clean a kill. Sure some of it scarred you for life, but you’re forever thankful for the skills you learned out there in the brush.

ACE Jutland - Named Best Hunting Folder by Field & Stream two years running, this rugged cutter is tough enough to tackle any tag and bag. The ACE Jutland is an incredibly versatile indoor/outdoor tool, with a secure grip even in wild conditions. Thanks to the trophy-sized handle and durable Elmax steel blade, pack-leader Dad will be more than equipped for any survivalist need, able to skin and quarter small game to his heart’s content.

There’s nothing more “dad” than fishing. Some guys are just made for the water. And most of your fondest memories together involve long days on the pond, piercing worms or ripping out trout guts. Now after all those years rowing out in a dinghy, he treated himself to a real vessel: his boat, his baby, the Fin-ally Free.

ACE REO - Talk about a serious catch, that old sea dog will be hooked when he reels in this whopper. Our REO is a streamlined dream, shaped like a Northern Pike and boasting a blade that can more than cut bait. Treat Captain Dad to a tackle box upgrade with impeccable grip, built to rule the open seas (or at least any well-stocked lake). Razor-sharp, made to last, and light in the hand—he’ll be more than set to man the deck from bow to stern.

Maybe your dad still loves a good model airplane. Or has a massive train town in the basement. Maybe he never outgrew action figures and video games. Or has more guitars than fingers. Whatever the case, some dads are just big nerds, and we love them for it. Arm him with the perfect companion for his next crafting side quest.

ACE Clyde - Like a classic pinball machine, this unique collector’s piece is all about the details. A mix of Scandinavia meets Japan (with some subtle Persian flair), its slim, upswept Elmax blade and simple lines are unlike anything in this galaxy or beyond. No matter the pastime, our Clyde gives dad the surgical precision needed for project supremacy, while still serving as an attractive addition to his ever-growing desk display.

Then there’s the dads who retire and take off into the sunset. He spent his savings on a camper van he probably (definitely) loves more than you, and tonight he’s sleeping in the desert somewhere, happily eating chili from the can. Sure he returns for holidays, but even then, it’s usually just to resupply for the next adventure.

ACE Iona V2 - For every task around the RV, may we present our exploration essential: the Iona V2. This road warrior is the ultimate fusion of utilitarian design and aesthetic achievement, just like his carefully organized mobile abode. With its confident grip, CPM MagnaCut blade, and spirit of wanderlust, it makes the perfect companion for the dad who loves being alone.

He’s the funny dad, the dad-joke dad, the loves-every-dumb-movie dad. He spent hours playing pirate dress up, and bought you every toy you ever dreamed of. He may not be the most rugged, or even particularly useful in any manual way, but he’s always there to cheer you up when you’ve had a rough day.

ACE Nibbler - Character, comfort, and fun: three words that describe both your dad and our ACE Nibbler. Inspired by Nibbles “Tuffy” mouse from Tom and Jerry, this little folder packs some serious personality AND power, giving Dad prime material for “size doesn’t matter” jokes. Perfectly fit for a fanny pack, it laughs in the face of any EDC situation (with a level of simplicity even the softest dad can handle).

Hail to the chef! In the hierarchy of dad hobbies, nothing tops the sacred art of “grilling.” One thing that unites fathers everywhere: they love to feed the masses. Whether you were born to a gourmet cook, or a man who makes more messes than meals, any dad is sure to appreciate a solid utensil for recipe testing.

GiantMouse Chef Knife - Presenting our main course: The meticulously designed, exceptionally balanced, sharp-as-hell GiantMouse Chef Knife. Prep pops for any cuisine experiment with this beef-slicing beast, featuring a satin-finished Nitro-B blade and durable green canvas Micarta handle. Bolstered by this badass cutlery, he’ll be king of the backyard BBQ (and you, his number one sous chef).
