The remainder of the set includes SAE and metric nut drivers, Torx, SAE, and metric hex bits, as well as traditional hollow ground flat and Phillips heads for work on all manner of arms from antiques to the latest products.

There are plenty of clip-based knives on the market, but there is something to be said for the traditional fold-and-forget type that lives in the bottom of the pocket. While better known for their hunting knives, Buck Knives produces a few good folding knives, including the diminutive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buckknives.com\/product\/379-solo-knife\/?sku=0379BRS-B\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fathers-day-gifts-for-gun-dads\" title=\"6 Father\u2019s Day Gifts Every Gun Dad Wants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">379 Solo<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"712\" src=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buck-379-solo-1024x712.jpg\" alt=\"Buck 379 Solo pocket knife unfolded with classic wood grain scales\" class=\"wp-image-252444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buck-379-solo-1024x712.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buck-379-solo-400x278.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buck-379-solo-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buck-379-solo-768x534.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/buck-379-solo.jpg 1035w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The unassuming but classic Buck Solo 379 is useful, but not high-speed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The 379 Solo is Buck&#8217;s smallest knife, but it is also the easiest to have on you, whether it is in hip waders or gym sweats. The Solo has a modified clip point blade that measures 2 1\/4 inches, making it legal for carry in most places while still being usable for anything from skinning small game to dressing a steak. The blade is made of tough 420J2 stainless steel alloy that both holds an edge well and is readily sharpened with a few good strokes. The knife is finished with either burlwood or plain wood-grain scales with traditional nickel bolsters. The attractive yet utilitarian Buck 379 Solo is not the fastest EDC knife, but it is a consistent tool that looks good in the grime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-40mm-milsurp-ammo-cans-cheap-tough-and-dad-proof\"><strong>40mm MilSurp Ammo Cans: Cheap, Tough, And Dad-Proof<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Neat storage never goes out of style, and military surplus ammunition cans are the ultimate buy, as well as being the most cost-effective.

It is hard to only have one. But unlike potato chips, guns take up space more quickly, and they need to be secured from unauthorized access.

The box is made of 12-gauge TIG welded steel with massive 1\/4 inch hardened hinges and a drill-resistant lock-pick defying key lock assembly. It weighs nine pounds and can be bolted down like a safe or used with the optional 6,000 lb. rated security cable. The padded interior is 10&#8243; L x 6.5&#8243; W x 3&#8243; H and is more than enough for a full-sized handgun, a light source, and a few extra magazines. This overbuilt lockbox puts store-bought options to shame and gives the user a durable and flexible storage option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-smith-amp-wesson-m-amp-p-bodyguard-2-0-the-father-s-day-wild-card\"><strong>Smith &amp; Wesson M&amp;P Bodyguard 2.0: The Father\u2019s Day Wild Card<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This list has covered options ranging from screwdriver sets for repairs to safe storage options, but it is all in service toward the gun, the one dad has now or the one he might have in the future.

The pressure-bearing parts like the barrel and cylinder are still stainless steel, while the cylinder frame itself is aluminum. Thanks to its construction, the Bodyguard 2.0 weighs just 14 ounces. It is a snag-free double-action design with a 2-inch barrel and holds five rounds of the more powerful .38 Special +P cartridge. To top off the package, the Bodyguard has an ambidextrous cylinder release latch located at the top of the frame, rather than on the left side.

The list covers maintenance, pocket utility, ammo storage, range organization, secure pistol storage, and a real carry gun upgrade.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cons:<\/strong> Some items are more practical than flashy, surplus ammo can condition can vary, and the Bodyguard 2.0 may turn Father\u2019s Day into a much more expensive tradition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bottom-line-give-gun-dad-something-he-ll-actually-use\"><strong>The Bottom Line: Give Gun Dad Something He\u2019ll Actually Use<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best Father\u2019s Day gifts for gun dads are not novelty mugs or another shirt that says something about barbecue. They are the things that make range days easier, home storage cleaner, gun maintenance less aggravating, and everyday carry a little more interesting. Whether Dad needs a fresh screwdriver set because half his bits have entered the void, a classic pocket knife, a real range bag, steel storage, or a new Smith &amp; Wesson revolver, this list keeps the gifts useful, durable, and firmly in gun-guy territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-related-reads-from-gunsamerica-digest\"><strong>Related Reads from GunsAmerica Digest<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/category\/gear-reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fathers-day-gifts-for-gun-dads\" title=\"6 Father\u2019s Day Gifts Every Gun Dad Wants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More Gear Reviews from GunsAmerica Digest<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/category\/handguns\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fathers-day-gifts-for-gun-dads\" title=\"6 Father\u2019s Day Gifts Every Gun Dad Wants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Latest Handgun Reviews from GunsAmerica Digest<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/category\/concealed-carry\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"fathers-day-gifts-for-gun-dads\" title=\"6 Father\u2019s Day Gifts Every Gun Dad Wants\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Concealed Carry Reviews and Tips<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Father\u2019s Day for gun dads is not about neckties and polite applause.
