The Dime Day is a compact, butterfly-open multi-tool. By Gerber’s words a “mini-multi-tool”, and it follows the design philosophy that “always being prepared” follows tools that are easy to carry.
In that spirit, they’ve made the Dime Day 2.2 oz and put a key ring on it so you can add it to your keychain
Here’s the tool list:
- Needle-nose spring-loaded pliers
- Wire cutter
- Plaine edge blade
- Retail package opener
- Scissors
- Medium flat driver
- Cross head driver
- Bottle opener
- Tweezers
- File
They only list the steel as “stainless steel”, which implies something near the 8Cr steel category, but it’s at a comfortable budget price around the $30 mark.
This is a return to a category that Gerber has historically done pretty well in. Some people only know of Gerber as a multi-tool company, and past designs like the Armbar and Center-Drive series might show why that’s the case.
Currently the Dime Day is available in three variations: All black handles, black and green, or black and red. You can pick one of these up now from the Gerber site and most of the usual knife vendor suspects.
