What happened
Edge & Pop has launched the Dual, a streamlined multitool designed with city dwellers in mind. Unlike many multitools that pack in numerous functions, the Dual focuses on three practical features: a sharp knife, a bottle opener, and a phone stand. This focused approach provides a handy set of tools without unnecessary bulk.
The Dual’s construction blends form and function, featuring a sturdy heat-treated stainless steel frame paired with choice exterior panels of Ebony or Golden Sandalwood. Its knife uses a tough 67-layer high-carbon Damascus steel blade that is well-suited for everyday cutting tasks such as slicing paper, leather, or rope. The bottle opener is designed for quick, effortless use, embodying the classic speed-style bartender design.
Why it feels good
This multitool feels just right for daily urban life because it balances sophistication with simplicity. The wooden panels give it a refined and understated look that complements a variety of styles, making it a pleasant accessory to carry. Its small size keeps it convenient and unobtrusive, addressing the common issue of bulky multitools that can feel excessive in city settings.
Additionally, the phone stand expands the tool’s usefulness, supporting devices up to 8mm thick in either portrait or landscape orientation. This adds a touch of convenience for those who frequently use their phones hands-free, whether for video calls, watching shows, or checking recipes.
What to enjoy or watch next
Edge & Pop is currently crowdfunding the Dual on Kickstarter, offering an early-bird price of $39, discounted from the suggested retail price of $60. The company has a track record of successful campaigns, including a predecessor multitool that shipped as planned, which adds confidence to this new project. Orders are expected to be fulfilled globally beginning in January 2027.
For anyone interested in practical, aesthetically pleasing gear to simplify everyday tasks, the Dual multitool is a promising option to watch. It reflects a trend toward minimalist multitools that offer key functions without overcomplicating the design, making it worth considering for anyone looking to upgrade their EDC (everyday carry) essentials.
